RH 7: In a CHM, how can I open an independent, non-modal window?

[avi10000]

Hi all,

Using RH7.

From within a CHM page, how can I open an independent, non-modal window?

From within a topic I want to display a large picture by clicking an icon. The picture should appear in an independent, non-modal window that the reader can grab on its caption bar and so move the window  around. Thus, the reader can move the picture window to one side of the monitor, for example, and then use it as a reference, while continuing to read the topic on the other side of the monitor.

Is this possible in RH7? If so, which RH feature would I use to do this?

TIA

Well I found this link.

Open New Instance of HTML Viewer Window

But it was for an old version of RH.  I couldn't follow the instructions through until the end.

There is also Menu >  Insert > Insert Hyperlink/Popup > Display in Frame - New Window

But that opens the target topic in a  browser window (new + default). That's not exactly what I want, but good enough for now.

More ideas?

TIA

Hi there

I'm guessing you want to simply open a new browser window without any browser controls, right? In this case, you will need to use JavaScript to do it.

Well, a new CHM viewer/window. I assume we are agreeing with each other.

>>  In this case, you will need to use JavaScript to do it.

Ummmm ... are the links at the bottom of your post, the links to JavaScript sample code blocks?
