**** Release Notes ****
Popup Windows
Author: Brian Gosselin
Site URL: http://scriptasylum.com
Browser compatibility:
IE5+, NS4+, NS6+, Mozilla1+ (with limited functionality in some older browsers)
Supported Features:
(V 4.5)
> Added the ability to specify the image URLs for the min, max, close, and resize icons. If the
icons reside in a different directory, show the path relative to where the script file
is stored.
(V 4.4)
> Added fadeboxin() and fadeboxout() functions which gradually fade in/out popups. To fade
them in, they must be hidden; to fade them out, they must be visible. Only one popup can
be faded in or out of view at one time due to browser rendering speed. If there are mul-
tiple popups on one page, the scrollbars of the other popups flicker in IE as a popup
is faded in/out. As a result, all popups will have their scrollbars temporarily disabled
until the fading in/out is complete. This only effect IE browsers.
(V 4.3)
> Added functions to move and resize any popup dynamically via link or script, similar to how
you can use a function to show/hide a popup.
(V 4.2)
> Added function to allow the content (or URL) of a popup to be changed dynamically via link or
script, similar to how you can use a function to show/hide a popup.
> Fixed bug: When a window is created initially hidden, then shown via link, the windows now gain
focus.
(V 4.1)
> Removed the arrays for element references for better readability.
> Fixed an IFRAME bug for external URL windows.
> Cleaned up the code a little.
> Removed most of the comments and instructions from the script file. These now appear in
this "releasenotes" text file.
(V 4.0)
> Can now load external HTML files, even when using "old-browser" mode. Thanks to
DynamicDrive.com for a workaround for dragging when using an iframe.
> Added cookie functionality so popups will not reappear if the user goes back to
the page (selectable). Thanks to DynamicDrive.com for this idea.
> Removed minimize/maximize buttons if popup is non-resizeable.
> Optimized "old-browser" mode to utilize more of the user defined settings such as
window position and resizability. Also supports the selectable "external page mode".
> Added a wizard to set up your window parameters. Just plug in the values you want, test
by creating a popup, then paste the generated code into your page! Easy as that!
(V 3.1)
> Added resizability to the windows.
> Popups can be created in their hidden/visible state and then opened/closed via
javascript function if desired.
> Degrades gracefully in older browsers by creating normal browser windows (selectable).
> Thanks to Robert V. Zwink for a tweak which adds better compliance for Netscape 3.04
(V 3.0)
> New look and feel to make the windows look more like real windows.
(V 2.0)
> Fixed several bugs, mostly with the drag-n-drop functionality.
(v 1.0)
> Initial release.
> Seperate Drag and Drop, minimize/restore/close, and fonts/colors/dimensions/placement
for each popup.
> Allows any number of popups per page limited only by browser/computer performance.
> Popups are created *after* page loadtime allowing for truly dynamic windows. For
popups that appear when the page is loaded, put the popup constructor in a window.onload
function.
