To Write Text for a Pop-up Window

Microsoft Corporation

Updated June 10, 1999

Write the text for your pop-up windows, using any text editor, in the following format:

<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 to appear in the pop-up window.

Example

The following script specifies 10 point italic Helvetica as the font to use for the text and defines one pop-up window:

<SCRIPT Language=JavaScript>


    MyFont="Helvetica,10,,italic"


    MyText="This is a pop-up window."
</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.
