Where am I going wrong?

Please check out my website: http://www.2926.karoo.net/

This is the coding for the 'Breakfast' link:

on (press)
{
getURL ("javascript:openNewWindow('breakfast.html','thewi n' ,'height=593,width=425,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes') ;");
}

425 is the exact width of the two images, so why is there a horizontal scrollbar!?

Thanks,

James

It's because you have scrollbars in the script, you didn't specify which scroll bar you wanted...You said scrollbars, which means there will be more than one.

Besides, it didn't seem to affect the menu in any way.

Re: Where am I going wrong?

an observation, for the sake of a scroll bar on Location why not just reduce the size of the Location text and the scroll bar should disapear. On the matter in question and Mr Madison said you did not specif so you get what you see.
I'm now very hungry though.

Re: Where am I going wrong?

I think I had already worked it out by the time I got my first reply which is why it looked fine ... I didn't allow for the width of the scroll bar in the window (as acidgreen suggested.) It was 16px, not 24, that I had to extend it by.

Could anyone tell me how to change the coding so that the pop-ups are positioned in the centre of the screen?

Also, when you click, for example, 'Express Lunch' and then click 'Desserts' (without closing the 'Express Lunch' window) the 'Desserts' menu will appear in the 'Express Lunch' window. Could anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

James

Acrikey, the content in 'location' isn't complete. I just typed in the address as a temporary thing. I'm waiting on the owner to send me what he wants in there.

Re: Where am I going wrong?

Yeah, you have to account for the scrollbars/browser windows as well when you are doing something like this, since it's resizing a new browser window...not just the .html part of it.

Glad things worked out.
