Is there a html code to cause a pop up?

Question

I'm looking for a way for someone to click a link and a pop up to open. For example have trivia and for the person to click an answer link pops up in a little box. That kind of thing.

Answer 1

I think you are looking for the Javascript function alert()

For example,


will cause a small pop up alert to appear.

Answer 2

If your answer is sort of small, then a "title" attribute may serve: when the viewer passes the mouse over the item, most browsers will pop up a small window containing the title text.

Answer 3

Yes... you can use window.open() method to pop up a window. A good approach is to create a javaScript function that is called when the link is cliked, inside the function you can call window.open (window.open takes a lot of parameters that define, the attributes of the pop up window, e.g. size, addressbar, resizable, etc). Google window.open to see the arguments/parameters that this method accepts.

Caution - a window.open may be blocked if the user has a pop up blocker.
