I am using JavaScript as a popup. But what I'd like it to do is load the popped up page in a certain area, Specified by say an X & Y coordinate.

My current code is :

function openwindow()
    {
        window.open("index.php?dll=gallery&sub=upload","mywindow","menubar=1,resizable=1,width=660px,height=390px");
    }

Is this achievable and if so, How, based on the code I've supplied.

Thanks

use the parameters top and left, e.g. window.open("index.php?dll=gallery&sub=upload","mywindow","menubar=1,resizable=1,width=660px,height=390px,top=0,left=0");

Having said that, managing popup windows can be troublesome. If it's not necessary for your application, I would simply create a DHTML dialog in your actual page, e.g. jQuery's dialog, jqueryui./demos/dialog .

In the 3rd parameter add a left and a top

You can add top=?px,left=?px to your propperties. For example

function openwindow()
{
    window.open("index.php?dll=gallery&sub=upload","mywindow","menubar=1,resizable=1,width=660px,height=390px,top=100px,left=150px");
}

If you would like to position the popup on the screen, you can use the screenX and screenY properties when opening a window, like so:

window.open("index.php?dll=gallery&sub=upload", "mywindow", "menubar=1, resizable=1, width=660px, height=390px, screenX=80, screenY=300")
