    Hi,

    Sorry if this question is answered somewhere else or is extremely easy, but I was wondering if I could have an image as a link that opened to an external page popup.

    I have an image, that I would like people to click on. When the popup opens it should be a calculator, but I only have the URL to a certain calculator, not the code for the calculator itself.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks

    @jandghomes – Sure you can insert an iframe into the “Text” tab of your popup content editor. Should look like this.

    <iframe src="url.to/calculator" width="300" height="500"></iframe>

    You may be able to delete the width and height but if you want the popup to appear as a calculator then best to set a specific size which you can then also set the popup to use.

    Let me know when you have it up. Would love to take a look.

    Just to show you here is a proof of concept I created in about 5 minutes, granted I know every setting in popup maker, but you can do it easily too.

    @jandghomes – Hope you don’t mind but I think I am gonna do a post on our site about this idea. We even have a draggable extension in the pipeline that could make this a movable calculator for peoples websites :).

    Thanks for the awesome idea. I will be glad to cite you if you want and can link to your implementation in the wild if you like.

    Hi @danieliser

    Thank you for your quick response! That’s awesome. And thank you for answering my question, that worked PERFECTLY!

    I’m using the idea here http://ronabrandon.ca/departments/building-material/.

    And of course! I don’t know how I helped you think of that by asking such a stupid question, but that sounds great! You don’t have to cite or anything. I’m mostly a designer just trying to code. But thank you for asking!

    @jandghomes – Yours is good but let me give you some tips :). A little bit of info I will be including in the article.

    Start with the Lightbox theme, edit it and under container reduce padding to 0, clear the background and border colors.

    Under close set the top & right position sliders to negative values moving the close button outside the popup slightly.

    Lastly define your iframes size <iframe width="number of pixels" height="xx"></iframe> and then set the popup size to auto.

    Should make a pretty nice, very clean popup calculator.

    Hope that helps.
