CRM 2011 - Open a Popup from a page in an IFrame

Question

In CRM2011 I have an IFrame that displays a custom ASPX page (a photo gallery). From that page when they click a photo, a new popup should appear with the photo in real size.

What do I have to do to make this work? I tried several methods, none of them are working. It works fine when I'm opening the page in a browser! When I click on a photo, the real sized photo opens in a new screen.

My methods with javascript are :

1. <a href="#1" onclick="window.open(....)">click</a> => When I use that method, it opens a new window with the complete page that is shown in the IFrame. If the iframe is "http://myPage.aspx", it will open a new window with "http://myPage.aspx" instead of the photo....
2. <span onclick="window.open(....)">click</span> => Nothing Happens
3. <a href="#1" onclick="window.showModalDialog(...)">click</a> => Same happens like method 1
4. I've tried many other things, but none of them had the wanted effect...

Kind Regards,

Frederic

Answer 1

Thx for your reply.. But unfortunately, it doesn't work. It still opens the same page in a new browser while clicking on it in an IFrame, instead of a popup.

It even gives me a weird behavior when I click on it opened in a normal browser. It opens an popup, but it also opens a second screen with the page itself.

So I still haven't found a way to open it correctly from an IFrame.

Kind Regards, Frederic
