Spiffy ( but IE only ) toys...

[ucm]

this is sweeeet!! if only all browsers could do this, this would save tremendous amounts of time on the web developer as well as provide very spiffy effects:


check This Demo Page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/popup/usingpopup.htm) from microsoft's msdn (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/om/xframe_scripting_security.asp) page...

this rules in ie6... but alas it doesn't work in mozilla nor firebird nor opera :(

the reason why the other browsers don't do it is because it's not a w3c standard, microsoft came up with it...

but still, tis pretty sweet!! :D


--edit:

of course with enough effort, all of those spiffy effects cam be created for cross-browser >-)

Yes, the MSDN library is an interesting read.

that is pretty cool. there was one script that I had found that gave you the right click menu and it was suppose to work in all browsers. let me see if I can find it.

but tell me one thing, were is the rest of that javascript?

createPopup()

where is that function?

when i tried accessing that url in mozilla then firebird and opera, nothing worked, but in ie6 it brings up those 4x popup options a-ok... i believe that the .creatPopup() method if an ie only method :-/

which sux, of course, for cross browser compatibility, go fig :-|

now, as i am certain that many of us can do, we could very easily create the exact same thing in cross-browser dhtml code with no problem... i have been giving that some consideration since i saw the page :D
