createPopup Method

Creates a popup window.

Syntax

oPopup = window.createPopup( [vArgs])

Parameters

vArgs Optional. This argument is reserved for future use.

Return Value

Returns the popup window object.

Remarks

The pop-up window is initially in a hidden state.
When an element has focus and causes a popup to appear, the element does not lose focus. Because of this, an onblur event associated with an element that creates a popup will not occur when the popup is displayed.
