Question

I am doing a pop up on my home page using the following link

<a href="CreateUser.aspx" target="_blank"

 onclick="window.open('CreateUser.aspx', 'windowname',

'width=500,height=400,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,directories=no,location=no'); return false">Create users</a>

But when this window is opened I am able to navigate in the home page, which I want to disable until user clicks ok or cancel in the create users page. How to do that.

Answer 1

To disable the specific aspect you were referring to, I believe you’d want to set showMenu to false.

Here is a method which includes the most commonly used options when opening a popup window:

openChildWindowWithDimensions = function(url, width, height, showMenu, canResize, showScrollbars) {
    var childWindow = window.open(url, "", "\"width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",menubar=" + (showMenu ? "1" : "0") + ",scrollbars=" + (showScrollbars ? "1" : "0") + ",resizable=" + (canResize ? "1" : "0") + "\"");
    if (childWindow){
        childWindow.resizeTo(width, height); //for IE9 bug
    }
}
