Installation

Basic Usage

To open a popup window:

$.popupWindow('http://google.com');

By default this will open a 500x500 pixel window which is auto-centered and has minimal chrome.

$.popupWindow('http://google.com', {
    height: 300,
    width: 200,
    toolbar: false,
    scrollbars: false, // safari always adds scrollbars
    status: false,
    resizable: true,
    left: 100,
    top: 100,
    center: false, // auto-center
    createNew: true, // open a new window, or re-use existing popup
    name: null, // specify custom name for window (overrides createNew option)
    location: false,
    menubar: false,
    onUnload: function() { // callback when window closes

    } 
});
