To Write Text for Pop-up Windows

Microsoft Corporation

Updated June 10, 1999

Copy the following syntax in your HTML file:
<SCRIPT Language=JavaScript> font_variable="Facename[, point size[, charset[, PLAIN BOLD ITALIC UNDERLINE]]]" text_variable="A Pop-up Window" text_variable2="Another Pop-up Window" </SCRIPT>

where font_variable is the name of the variable that specifies the font attributes for the text, and text_variable is the name of the variable that specifies the text of the pop-up window.

Create one text variable (with a unique name) for each pop-up window.

Example

The following script specifies 10 point Verdana as the font to use for the text and defines four pop-up windows:

<SCRIPT Language=JavaScript>


    popfont="Verdana,10,,plain"


    square1="Welcome to Square 1!"


    square2="This is Square 2!"


    square3="Welcome to Square 3!"


    square4="Square 4 welcomes you!"
</SCRIPT>

Notes

You can place the pop-up windows anywhere within the <BODY> start and end tags of your HTML file.
The text for pop-up windows can also be stored in a text file with the .js file name extension that you reference from your HTML file.
For more information about specifying font attributes, see the TextPopup method.
