open popup window on button click jquery

pop-up a window when the user clicks a button

stackoverflow.com › questions › 32147463 › pop-up-a-window-when-the-user-clicks-a-button

mylink (the button's this) isn't a string, so you try to open mylink.href:

if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
  href = mylink;
else 
  href = mylink.href;

But buttons don't have href properties, so it's as if you wrote:

window.open(undefined, 'about', 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');

which opens a blank page, as expected. If you want to open the same page as the link, use:

onclick="popup('newpopup.html', 'about');"

Try this simple piece of code:

<script>
   function fullwindowpopup(){
      window.open("newpopup.html","bfs","fullscreen,scrollbars")
   }
</script>

<center>
    <form>
        <input type="button" onClick="fullwindowpopup()" value="CLICK HERE">
    </form>
</center>

Give an ID to uniquely identify the button, lets say myBtn

// when DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function () {

     // Attach Button click event listener 
    $("#myBtn").click(function(){

         // show Modal
         $('#myModal').modal('show');
    });
});

May 21, 2025 - This second statement removes the “active” class when the “Close” button is clicked. $(".close, .popup").on("click", function(){ $(".popup, .popup-content").removeClass("active"); }); When this happens, the “active” class is removed from the pop-up classes, causing them to revert to their previous styling that has the visibility set to hidden. Add both statements of jQuery to your document. If all this is completed correctly, you will have a rudimentary modal pop-up box. jQuery is an open-source software permissive under an MIT license.

JavaScript code should be wrapped with the <script> tag. CSS code should be wrapped with the <style> tag inside the <head> tag (although not mandatory).

The HTML you should be using is this:

<html>
<head>
<style>
.center {
    margin: auto;
    width: 60%;
    padding: 20px;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
}

.hideform {
    display: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="center hideform">
    <button id="close" style="float: right;">X</button>
    <form action="/action_page.php">

You can use Javascript to open a popup window in asp.net. Try with below sample implementation First Move the code inside your div to a new page and call its as Popup.aspx. Popup.aspx Code "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > "server" > "form1" runat= "server" > "_lname" runat= "server" > "Button1" runat= "server" Text= "save" OnClick= "Button1_Click" /> You will have the click event for button also in code behind of Popup.aspx Now from your main page use below code to open popup window function openPopupWindow() { //Open the popup page window.open( 'Popup.aspx' , 'pagename' , 'resizable=no,width=200,height=400' ); } Call the javascript function in your button click like below asp:Button ID = "btnOpenPopupWindow" runat = "server" Text = "Open Popup Window" OnClientClick = "openPopupWindow();return false;" />
