Opening Zoho Creator Forms in a Widget Pop-up
A common question among Zoho Creator users is how to create a button within a widget that triggers a pop-up form. While direct HTML snippets for pop-ups work well in other contexts, they might not function as expected within a widget.
Fortunately, there are a couple of effective methods to achieve this.
One straightforward approach is to modify the href attribute of your button's link to include the complete Zoho Creator application URL, along with the target="_top" attribute. This ensures the link is opened in the top-level Browse context, allowing the form to appear as a pop-up.
For a more robust and "true" form pop-up, you can leverage an onclick JavaScript function instead of a direct link tag. This method provides greater control over the pop-up window's behavior. This method is particularly useful when working with more complex interactions and dynamic form loading in Zoho Creator.
These solutions provide flexible ways to integrate Zoho Creator forms seamlessly within your widgets, enhancing user experience and streamlining workflows without the need for deluge script in zoho creator for the pop-up itself, focusing on the client-side interaction. While Zoho Creator deluge scripts are powerful for backend logic, for widget pop-ups, these HTML and JavaScript approaches are effective.
