Is it possible to call a popup without using onclick or href?

Question

I have a button that updates the query, after which I want a popup to appear. I have used it like this:

<input type="submit" name="details" value="Details"/>
 if(isset($_POST['details']))
 {
 // update function;

 call a popup;
 }

I don't want to use popup as

<button id="popup" onclick="div_show()">Popup</button>`

Or

<a href="#openModal" id="btn">

I want it as isset(..) , Is it possible? If yes how should I call a simple popup having a message and 2 buttons? (I don't want to use alert, prompt, confirm boxes , It should be a popup). Please help.

Answer 1

If you are making the pop-up with java-script, you can do it like this :

<?php
     if(isset($_POST['details']))
     {
     // update function;

     echo '<script type="text/javascript">Call_PopUp(); </script>';
     }
?>

or even a popup with html (iFrame)

<?php
     if(isset($_POST['details']))
     {
     // update function;

     echo '<iframe> Pop-Up here </iframe>';
     }
?>

Answer 2

You can echo javascript code with windows.open like this:

<?php 

 if(isset($_POST['details']))
     {
     // update function;

     echo "<script type='text/javascript'>var url = 'http://www.google.com'; window.open(url,'win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=1076,height=768,directories=no,location=no'); </script>";

}
?>

The problem with popup windows is that are blocked by all modern browser, can you evaluate modal popup instead of popup windows.
