Links in popup layer

[designer_k]

Thank you for getting it posted. This isn't my first post, as I've asked questions before without any links. I know it's helpful to be able to see what's being discussed and post the associated Xara files since someone might be able to dig into my file to see what I am missing.

Since I'm not a very advanced Xara user, I haven't been able to contribute much to other discussions to not be so "new."

Regards,
Kelly

The Popup in your reference example http://cultivateevent.org is sticky, animated (slides in from the right), sits off-page (so it stays to the right hand side of the browser) and has multiple links, close popup and links to another page.. There is some slick coding in that lot!

You need two Xara work-arounds; one that allows sticky animated pop-ups and one that allows that popup to auto-load. Attached is a working example with some explanations that you can have a play with.



You can use the approach across multiple variants, but for a mobile variant I would simply forget the popup and have the registration block always visible on the page.

Have fun

Should have said the key to making this work is to animate the popup objects with 'Slide in-from-right' (though Web Animation) BEFORE you copy from the MouseOff layer to the Popup Layer, and that Popup settings (in this case can be set to instant). Updated instructions.

I will give this a try. I wasn't even going for the slide in part yet, just trying to get both the link to the register page and the "link" for the close box to work first.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your time.

Initiostar,

Thank you so much for your step-by-step! I was able to get it to work.

So our friends across the pond were able to help.

Kelly,

Good news that it worked. Worth remembering the workarounds for future use.
