JavaScript popup from main menu?

[chilsta]

I need to add a popup from the main menu which will open a popup using javascript like this guy.

I have to use Javascript because I need to be able define the properties of the new window, which isn't possible using target="_blank".

For accessibility/ usability reasons I'd like to use A List Apart's method (unless there's a better/ easier option?).

What that boils down to is needing to be able to define an ID (or class) for the link:

Code: Select all

	<a id="popup-feat" href="example_popup.html">link</a>

there's then a Javascript event listener which is placed in external .js file.

Any help with this'd be much appreciated.

Bumping as I've still not found a solution to this- there must be some way of adding an accessible, configurable popup to CMSMS' main menu?

You can define an ID (or class) for the link in your menu template.
For an ID you can use for example id="{$node->alias}"

Thanks very much Dee-

That looks like exactly what I need.
I'm hoping it will also fix another site I have which validates apart from one small niggle with an ID in the nav being repeated- this should get rid of that.

Will experiment and get back.
