Can you display a page WITHOUT the page container?

return $this->responseView('EWRhabla_ViewPublic_Chat', 'EWRhabla_Chat', $viewParams);

When you use the code above, it sends the template into the view and wraps the template with the rest of your website's page container. http://www.8wayrun.com/chat/

However, I would like to offer an option like... http://www.8wayrun.com/chat/popup/

If a user goes to that link, I would like to open the page in a popup (not an OverlayTrigger), where the chat window consumes 100% of the page. How would I do this without loading up the page_container?

Darkimmortal does this with his chat add-on, which has the option of a pop-up window so it's definitely possible.

Might be worth sending him a PM.

Thanks... this is what I was looking for... additional question...

Does jQuery have it's own window popup method? All I could find is the overlay popup method...

 

[Shadab]

I couldn't find any such method in the jQuery API docs.
But there's a plugin available for it: http://swip.codylindley.com/popupWindowDemo.html

Btw, You can always fall back to the native javascript way of opening a popup, using window.open().

No it doesn't. As Shadab says, if you want to open a new browser window popup, window.open() is the way to go.
