  Hi all.

  We want to add a link to our website, which when clicked opens in a pop-up window with no navigation bar (essentially to hide the domain name).

  How does one do that?

  Thanks.

  One would do that in the full knowledge that for the past several years most people have browsed with their 'pop up blockers' on.
  This prevents windows from spawning other little windows.

  • unless they set it to allow popups on clicking a link– ribit

  Or just set to visibility:visible, an iframe in a floating div, using php to scrape the page and pipe it thru with ajax.

  Yes, but I thought pop-up blockers only blocked pop-ups from other sites... adverts and things. Surely you can make a link open a new window?!

  • yes, you can open a clicked link.– Jnr_Madison1/4

    why you would want to is another matter.– Jnr_Madison2/4

    to show a large image?– ribit3/4

    ya, I was talking about a site in a pop-up.– Jnr_Madison4/4

  See this:

  http://www.snapsurveys.com/sampl…

  See the Pop-up Surveys box?

  Click the 'View Pop-up Sample'.

  It opens in a new window with no nav bar etc.

  I want to do that.

  Can't you just add something to the href tag?

  It's not for a site, or an image... for a questionnaire...

  we want to hide the url so people using it can't see where it originates from.

    Forget the pop up route - that shit's been verboten for years now.– Nairn2/2

  will not work...
  modern browsers show the domain in popups...
  maybe there is a workaround somewhere in the spam/phishing boards

  • point taken, but look at my post above. that link opens a new window with no URL at the top.– Raniator1/3

    By default on most modern browsers - "No, it doesn't".
    – Nairn2/3

    well bugger me, it does in safari. not firefox. hmmm... piss it.– Raniator3/3

  It's a security feature showing the domain in all windows now, unless the user manually right clicks and de-selects the 'main' navigation toolbar - which I'm not sure most people even know how to do.

  • you might be surprised...– NONEIS1/2

    I might but what the fuck does that prove???– Jnr_Madison2/2

  where is the questionnaire hosted, the url can't be that bad that you need to hide it? I personnally would worry about it esp. if the organisation doing the questionnaire is well respected it may even add legitimacy to it.

  the link on a page on our website will pop-up a page from our own site, which then displays the questionnaire from the other link...

  java script in the head portion:

  <script type="text/javascript">
  <!--
  function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
  }
  //-->
  </script>

  this is how they do their link:
  <a onclick="MM_openBrWindow('/samplesurveys/popup/popup.htm','popup','resizable=yes,width=422,height=450')" class="sample-thumb" href="#">View Pop-up Sample</a>

  clearly they just used the open Browser window behavioUr in Dreamweaver

  the other option might be to build your own online survey tool and host it yourself and then you won't have an external url..
