Create modal popup in NetSuite - javascript

I have a requirement to show modal popup on in netsuite on button click.
currently I open a window using client script
var url = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET','customscript_id','customdeploy_id',null);
window.open(url);
Now I want to make this window as modal popup to prevent accessing the parent window. Please help.

You'll need to use existing solutions like
Bootsrap or Jquery UI's Modal Window.
If you want to be more elegant and avoid dependencies, you can create your own light implementation. Please, refer to how to make window.open pop up Modal?

Single mouse click to open new tab + modal window at same time

See for example:
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/macys.com
When you click on one of the buttons, it both automatically opens a new tab, and pop out their modal window.
What are the possible ways to do this?
They seem to do both actions with Javascript. They actually do something that keeps the window in the current tab and not on the one that was opened. How is it done?
In general, Can I achieve these two actions (nevermind if focus is on new window) with a regular form submission with target=_blank the new tab, and some class to pop the modal window? What should the javascript look like?
Is there any way to do this without javascript at all?
Basically I'm looking for practices that are supported from IE8+, and cross browser compliant.

You can open your js modal also inside myFunction() function.

window.open() in new tab are not subject to pop-up blockers

I want to open new tab window on some condition for example:
var temp=true
if(temp)
window.open('test.aspx');
My problem is window.open() in new tab should not subject to pop-up blockers.
I have tried window.open('viewReport.aspx', '_newtab' ); and window.open('viewReport.aspx', '_blank' );, but its always subject to pop-up blocker.
Please provide any solution.
Thanks.
Window.open will force opening a new tab with a given URL. This is called a Pop-Up.
You cannot control it.
Instead use javascript to simulate a windows by using ex. https://jqueryui.com/dialog/ or http://fancybox.net. Both works with ajax request so you can pull the html content from another page.

You might think that but the people writing web browsers do not.
You cannot open a new tab or window from JavaScript except in response to a user event.
The solution is to find some other way to present your information (such as providing the user with a link to it or placing it in the same page).
Create a jquery popup div in ‘on click trigger’ event, that pop up displays with opacity background and it will remains center the popup if you scrolling zoom out the browser and closing it fadeout, and also you can customize the content of the popup div for your cool website designs.

open a customized pop up window without address bar using javascript

I need to open a new pop-up window without address bar and i need to display some data in that window. I should be able to modify the data in the pop-up window and once i click on "ok" the pop-up should get closed and the data should get passed to the parent screen which opened this pop-up . Also the popup should have the same css as the parent window .
Please consider using a modal window instead of pop-ups for providing a more decent user experience. You can easily do what you want with a jquery plugin like fancybox.
onclick="window.open('abc.php','addressbar=no')" should do

How to make popup window in javascript only show once?

I want to make single pop up window in javascript. No matter how many times the button is pressed from parent page, only the single pop up is activated.
How can I do that in Javascript?
Just give the window a fixed name. So, don't do
window.open('popup.jsp');
but do
window.open('popup.jsp', 'chooseHereYourFixedName');
It will then be reused.
The window.open method takes 3 parameters.
a URL
a Name
a list of arguments
As long as the Name portion is the same when you open the popup, the same window will be reused.
window.open ("http://www.google.com","mywindow","status=1");
Here's another idea.
Why not create an inline page popup (div) with an iFrame inside? Fancybox does this pretty easily along with a number of other frameworks. Pretty easy to write with custom Javascript as well.
This way your users will never navigate from your window and only that popup will ever live from clicking the button.
<script>
var popup;
</script>
<input type="button" onClick="if (!popup) popup = window.open('new.html');">

Customizing the window popup skin?

Is there a way to customize the window layouts of popup that opens as a result of window.open event?
You could use jQuery UI to create a modal dialog box if you don't need an actual browser window.
If you mean you want to style the browser window this is not possible (not reliably across browsers as far as I know at least). You could open up your own-made popups inside the already opened website using javascript (then the popups would not be real popups but elements in the html DOM). Check out www.zkoss.org for an example using ajax for this if you are using java as a backend technology.
