How do I pass parameters in new window?

[Tina]

I want to add parameters and create a pop-up window that will generate on
save as a webpage. I cant get it to work.
I tried window.open(...) as well as setting new window = true. The problem
is it creates two windows. Can anyone help me? This project is due this week
and I am very stuck.

Thanks

How are you programming? VBA? VB/C#.Net?

Well i was going to try and use javascript. We are trying to learn visio on
the fly and when we tried using the vb application it would not convert when
save as a webpage. Im a student at UW and we are building this for our
capstone and our last step was to add a pop-u window for specific info
contained within the image.

Thanks so much for responding.

Well, there's nothing published on the SaveAsWeb settings as far as the
structure of the output files, but you could open up the output files and
dig around until you find a particular OnClick script.

The thing is, Visio shapes can hold lots of Custom Properties (go to the
Shape menu to define them)

And the SaveAsWeb functionality allows you to have a window/frame that shows
the values of those properties when you Ctrl+Click on a shape in the
browser. Check under the Publish... settings in the SaveAsWeb dialog. This
might get you a lot of what was needed.

The fancy stuff requires Internet Explorer...which is probably very un-cool
at the U. : )

Hi Chris,

I have researched all those options. I dont want to use custom properties
because they need to go to a new page within the site. I published and then
searched through code but vml pages are created and when I have tried to
manipulate them it breaks the entire page. So I guess Im out of luck.. but
thanks for trying to help.
