how to show in popup?

http://littleworldofours.com/1960/table1.html

I want to take the calendar table and hide it from the page until a user
clicks on a link. Then show only that calendar in a popup window. What's my
best approach on this?

JavaScript?
PHP cannot produce a popup. At most it can send HTML to a browser that
contains JavaScript that creates a new window.

Basically you bind an event (onClick for example) to a
button/hyperlink/whatever, then call a routine that creates the new
window using window.open(....).

Consult comp.lang.javascript for more help.
(But most regulars in there prefer you post your failing code instead of
asking them to write it for you.)

thanks. I've also been reading up on this and it appears that doing so in
pure php just isn't possible as you say. As it is now, it is only a sample,
not the finished output.

failing code? Not according to the validator. How can you screw up a simple
table?

Hi!

2 ways really and both related to JS.

1st way
Open new window:

2nd way
Divs. Here is 3 good examples with description of use:

Hope my information will help you.

Hi,

I mean something else: A lot of people show up in comp.lang.javascript
that ask for a solution without posting the code. (Here too for that matter)
If they post the code others can see what they tried so far, and spot
the errors in that code or approach (if any).

So with failing code I mean: 'the relevant parts of the php and
JavaScript that doesn't seem to work for you.'.

Thanks. That may work.
