Re: javascript Iframe PopUp help

you actually want your site blacklisted
you want to open a window to override user actions
Not a particularly good idea

Re: javascript Iframe PopUp help

Well, it's all about how that moodle dialog works. I was talking about unload event on <body> and use of an alert() message. Try using window.stop() function from javascript (to stop the browser) and after you press OK or close the dialog use window.location.href="new_location" to redirect the browser. I can be wrong.. stop doesn't always work on all browsers... but I try to help somehow

Re: javascript Iframe PopUp help

the window.stop also does not works...
The popup loads but there is just a flash and then it vanishes...
I want it to load completely.

Re: javascript Iframe PopUp help

why an external file
could you use unload to change the visibility of a layer in the page's css without the extra time needed to download the file
