Hey,

Newbie Dreamweaver user here. I'm working my way thru the Classroom in a Book
tutorial and I'm on Chapter 8. I followed the instructions that tell me how to
use Adobe Behaviors to open a larger photo in a new browser window when I click
on a thumbnail. The problem is, when I close the pop up window, it re-opens
again.
I can't figure out why it would do that. I had to set the preferences in
FireFox to allow pop ups so that I could view the page I'd created. Here's the
code that DreamWeaver created:

<td class="overlay"><a target="">?&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></td>
<td class="enlarge"
onfocus="MM_openBrWindow('images/group_large.jpg','Group','location=yes,width=82
0,height=550')"><a href="javascript:;" target="">+</a></td>
</tr>

The problem is the onfocus event. Here's what happens: you click the
link, the popup window opens and gets focus. You close the popup and
focus returns to the link, which starts the process over again.

So, change that event to onclick and all should work fine.

You've also applied the behavior to the table cell (the TD tag) instead
of the anchor (A tag). You may want to fix that while you're addressing
the onFocus thing.

Classroom in a book tells you to do THAT? Wow....

<td class="enlarge" onfocus="MM_openBrWindow

Seems weird to me.

It's the reason your popup keeps popping. The table cell still has focus
when you close the previously opened popup. I believe it would be much
better to have this -

<td class="overlay"><a target="">?&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></td>
<td class="enlarge"><a href="javascript:;"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('images/group_large.jpg','Group','location=yes,width=820,h eight=550')">+</a></td>
</tr>

I'm not going to comment on the empty target attribute. Who wrote this?

Thanks guys! Issues resolved:

1) Classroom in a Book didn't say anything about On Focus vs. On Click. Don't
know why it defaulted to On Focus.

2) I applied the behavior to the anchor tag and it defaulted to On Click.
Maybe applying the behavior to the table cell defaulted to On Focus?

3) Don't know enough HTML to say anything about the empty Target attribute or
other Dreamweaver weirdness. This is the code that Dreamweaver created when I
followed the CIB instructions. It seems to do what I want it to do, so I'll go
with it. Hope it's not violating any web standards.

Thanks for the quick help!

Brad

Good luck. You done good....
