!!Help me keep a popup layer up!!

I have a popup layer with a form on it. It pulls up great, but it leaves on click! I need it to stay and only leave once they click submit on the form or an 'x' in the corner... can this be done???? I have to wrap up this project this weekend and need help!

~april :D

Hi April, welcome to TG :D

This may help, it was built for another purpose but it should give you enough hints.

Link code is in red but ask way if you have any queries.

You will need to 'lock' the popup.

Instructions in section 10 here
And here

Hi Sledger

My .xar doesn't seem to need the "lock". I've got a feeling this was changed in V7 but I'm not 100% on that.

After a little experimenting I found out that if the popup is set via the dialogues then the (lock) parameter is required. If it is set via the link then (lock) is the default behaviour.

And then how do you get rid of the pop-up? :-)

Code:

---

popup: close

---

to close the layer containing the link

Code:

---

popup: close "layerx"

---

to close any named layer :-)

Yes, you are right Drwyd.

I know ... that's in Steve's link ;-)

I assumed you were asking on behalf of the less familiar with Xara :D

Yeh ... lock no good without unlock really [you can tell I'm a philosopher ;)) ]. That section is a very powerful set of tweaks in itself I think :)
