How to suppress pop-up window
Anyone know how do I can set it up so there is no pop-up window when someone clicks on a link in my calendar?

Thank you!

Re: How to suppress pop-up window
Sure - just use an HTML link for your event title. For example:

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">This event jumps to Yahoo!</a>

With a Premium subscription, you can also turn off links on events that don't have a description (under Options->Events)
"Hide links on Events that have no Description (public calendar views only) "

Re: How to suppress pop-up window
Hmm... what am I doing wrong at www.BostonWineSchool.com ?

Description field null

All text in title with link

Set to hide links

I'm missing something...

Re: How to suppress pop-up window
Can you give me a sample event title + date to test with? Not sure which event is giving you this problem.

Thank you!

Please go to http://www.bostonwineschool.com/classcalendar.shtml

Click on Friday 11/16 wine and cheese class where it says INFO, MENU & TICKETS

_new links to a registration page, and the tiny pop up opens for me.

Thanks again for taking a look!

Re: How to suppress pop-up window
AH - Now i see what you mean.
We've handled the question about event titles that are entirely links before, but I don't think the question about event titles that are part text and part links (as yours is) has come up.

Here is a quick solution I came up with. Edit the Event Description for that event, click on the small "HTML" icon in the toolbar.
Add this HTML:

<script>
self.close()
</script>

That will basically suppress (well, open and then close anyway) the pop-up description for that particular event. Of course, if someone wants to export that event to their personal calendar, they won't be able to anymore (because you are hiding our popup)

Re: How to suppress pop-up window
Marc:

I hope this thread is still active.

I have a similar set up as the one bostonwineschool has; text and link in the Title line. I have tried the solution you note here, and also tried the 'disable the popup for events that have no Description' as noted in the Title pop-up window thread. But in both instances, the pop-up window actually appears and then disappears, which is distracting.

Go to:
http://www.mobileexceltest.ottawapark.org, then to Nov. 1, 2014, and click on Calendar Instructions to see what mine looks like.

Is there any way to code it so the pop-up window NEVER appears?

Thanks,

Harry
