Hi All.
Today i tried Pop-N-Go and must say that it is exactly what i'm looking for since a couple of months. Almost

I would love to have following extensions:
- configure the position (maybe with values for top-left corner)
- backgroundcolor configurable
- instead of "hardcoded" cookie-lifetime, there could be a checkbox for the user "Don't show this again"; A new entered text should overrule the setting in a cookie when checked by the user.

Yes, i know, i could download the sourcecode as well, unfortunately i cannot program in C++

So, maybe in the next version?

Thanks anyway. Cheers

Linus,

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the position issue. Right now it is centered in FireFox, but IE, it is a set offset. I can look at making a setting for Top and Left properties for IE usage, that isn't an issue.

The background color is currently specified inside an external CSS file, I might just pull that all in locally, that way I can configure it. I can see what I can do there.

The "user option" is a good idea as well. Let me think about that one as well.

Hopefully I can find a solution for the IE position issue, if I can get that resolved I'll just move along and get the rest implemented.

Also, all of the changes, except for the User Option can be done with CSS styling only, no .NET or C# code!

Oh yes, i've seen the CSS.

I could do it, but no the admin of the non-profit-organisation i'm building the site for.
So it would be nice to have these settings in the dialog.
And unfortunately i must confirm, IE7 is ignoring the top and left settings in the CSS-File and i don't know why. Maybe because it's from Microsoft?

Where is the pop-up displayed for you in IE7? is it off the page?

I tested on IE7 and it was working......

No no, it's over the page, either fullscreen or not.
But i've tried to set some values in the CSS and nothing works.
The length from the browser-edge to the popup-edge is alway the same.

Ah, I know why that is!

FOr the IE "fix" I had to put some conditional styles inside the ViewPopNGo.ascx file. You can modify that CSS to change the IE positioning.

Someone might have tipped me off on a solution....we will see if I'm able to make some progress.

Is it possible to add a target to the links?

The current release does not support customization of the target.

The problem with the "offset" in the position comes from the element style of the "Background DIV". The element-style currently get a position absolute. If the position would be set to fixed, this "problem" would be solved. I tested this in IE8 and Firefox wit WebDeveloper/Firebug, but if i try to set this with the style (CSS or direct in the ascx file) teh still is the absolute position in the rendered html.

Maybe i just do not see the right position for this. ;-)

At http://blog.rameshbhaskar.com/2008/03/03/fixing-modalpopupextender-doctype-problems/ I found something more about a solution. many it would be solved with a newer version of the AjaxControlToolkit.dll or a modified version of the current one in the install pack?!

Could you share the fix that you tried with WebDeveloper/Firebug?

It is possible that something in the ascx is overriding it. I would love to get this fixed, as well as the addition of the target configuration.

For the problem with the offset i got a solution (tested in IE7/8 and FireFox 3). I had to make some changes in the CSS and the style in the ViewPopNGo.ascx file. I attach a zip with my mod´s to the post.
