Ektron® eWebEditPro Developer's Reference Guide

Property: popup
Description: Lets you pass four parameters to the popup Web page (specified in
popupUrl property).
• url (see “Property: url” on page 135)
• windowName (see “Property: windowName” on page 136)
• windowFeatures (see “Property: windowFeatures” on page 135)
• query (see “Property: query” on page 135)
By default, the popupUrl page is a static HTML page, but it could be a dynamically
generated page. In either case, you may want to pass additional information to the
popup page. For example, you may want to display the number of times the
content has been edited, the title of the content, or anything else.
Here is an example that passes a title and instructions relevant to the content
being edited.
On the page with the popup button:
var sTitle = "Summary Description";
var sInstr = "Please enter a paragraph summarizing the page.";
with (eWebEditPro.parameters.popup)
{
url = "cif_t0007popup.htm";
windowName = "";
windowFeatures = "location,scrollbars,resizable";
query ="title=" + escape(sTitle) + "&instr=" +escape(sInstr);
...
eWebEditPro.createButton(...);
NOTE The JavaScript escape() function ensures the text is saved to pass in a URL.
For example, it changes all space characters to %20. The unescape() function
restores the text.
