I'm currently making some online practice tests for my class and just having a ball. I've started adding "help" or tutorials on the tests in the form of popup windows, but am running into a small snag. Clicking to get the popup window makes the frame pageup to the top. The user has to find his or her place on the test after reading the help window. This would get frustrating for kids already frustrated because their parents are making them do a practice test instead of play.
Here's how I call the popup window:
<A HREF= "#" onClick="window.open('4fun_help8.html','help',
'width=180,height=280,directories=no,location=no,
menub-ar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,
resizable=yes,left=25,top=55,screenX=55,screenY=25');
returnfalse">HELP!!</a>
This is done within a frame. If anybody knows how to implement this without having the frame page up to the top, please clue me in.
You can see a test at:
http://www.pb5th.com/test/math/just4fun.html
There's help links at questions 7, 8, and 9.
Thanks! fred
