Custom JavaScript examples

[tassiebean]

Hi,

Erwin wrote a really nice JS as follows: "Another nice custom Javascript feature: Back to startpage after x seconds when there is no user input" earlier in this thread.

I would like to accomplish something similar, but have it close any popups (widgets) that are open on the startpage. In other words, if the current page IS the Startpage, but a widget is open (covering a large section of the Startpage), I would like that widget to closeout after x seconds. Can we do that? It could be as part of the script referred to above, or perhaps a separate script that closes widgets after n seconds.

Also, really sweet, would be the ability to fade the underlying screen when a widget pops up, to give extra prominence to the widget (i.e. to direct the user obviously to the widget). Can that be done?

Thanks for the great help on this forum by all. I will turn into a contributor soon as I get more competence!

Thanks!
