Hello,

I have a VideoHolder page type with a bunch of links to flash videos. I want each link to a video to open in a popup window. I am trying to use the jquery found here. I can't make this code work... I either get errors in the jQuery or the page just opens normally. I have added the proper class to the a tag for the link, and have included the javascript in the VideoHolder page type.

I think what is not connecting for me is how to include the script given in demo1 code example along with the entire file properly in SS. Any guidance much appreciated!

Hi theoldlr,

you can add a js file like this (in VideoHolder controller)

public function init(){
   parent::init();
   Requirements::javascript('path/to/jquery.popupWindow.js');
}

hope it helps.
cheers

Carlos,

I have included the code to require the javascript file in the videoholder as you described. However, if you look at the example1 demo code:

<p><a href="http://www.yahoo.com" title="yahoo.com" class="example1demo">open popup</a></p> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
$('.example1demo').popupWindow({ 
height:500, 
width:800, 
top:50, 
left:50 
}); 
</script>

Can i include the short jQuery statement that tells the script which class is supposed to popup into the jquery.popupWindow.js ? This is what I am not sure how to do.

Thanks

I got it to work... just needed to add this to the beginning of the .js file:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        jQuery('.videoLink').popupWindow();
});

So much easier than I thought.
