Pop Up Window to Display flash audio player
I desperately need the assistance of this group. I have let my javascript skills freeze in the year 2000. Now I can't make this work in Drupal as it is obvioulsy using techniques far more advanced.
I am attempting to get a pop up window to work from a menu item. The window would open a flash audio player.
I have gotten something to almost work from a node, but can't seem to get this to work from a menu item.
So, how do I open a sized new window from a menu item in Drupal?
Prior to using Drupal, I would just toss in the inline javascript . So something like this: Open the Clubbo Jukebox Demo.
This will not work. You just can't toss that in the form for the link in the menu area.
Any guidance or documentation on how to do this would be appreciated. It is one of the last things I need to complete to finish a project that has been going on for way to long.
Thank you in advance.
In terms of getting a pop-up
In terms of getting a pop-up to work, you might want to examine similar JavaScript code used in the Advanced Help module, where they have the pop-up functionality working nicely, although not on menu item links.
In order to have a menu item link work as a pop-up, you'll have to theme the link, which can be a bit tricky since for whatever reason the menu structure in Drupal does not lend itself well to theming an individual item. Hopefully this can be improved for Drupal 7. Do some searching for "theming menu links" and hopefully you'll find some good information on this.
Instead of a pop-up however, you may want to consider the Lightbox2 module, which has a similar effect as a pop-up, although it unfortunately leaves the rest of your page unusable while it is present, so it may not be what you are after. It has the advantage of being very simple to implement (pretty much install the module, choose your link href wisely and add a specific configuration class to the link).
Popups API!
You'll really want to take a look at the Popups API. It's pretty awesome.
