How to Add a Popup Window

 

Popup lets you display information from an external webpage to your webpage in a new web browser pop-up window. In the ProProfs Knowledge Base, you can add a popup by copying the code snippet of the selected page and pasting it into the source code of your webpage.

 

These are not the old-school pop-up windows we all used to fear, the ones that triggered pop-up blockers. Instead, this new pop-up window is safe and secure and uses a small piece of JavaScript that will open a page with a specific window width and height.

 

Benefits of popup window:

 

  • It saves you time and effort from creating a separate page.

  • Displays the information in the same window, keeping the users focussed
