hi kmorf_entransform,

 

1. Put the customer name as a command link inside ur table. 

2. design ur pop up window in a separate visual force page and write ur functionality code in its controller class.

3. now u have to call the visual force page in that command link's 'onclick' event using javascript like 

 

window.showmodalpopup('\apex\ ur VF page ', [u can able to set the height, width and other attributes here by comma separator]  )

 

4. place a button named as 'Close' and in its onclick event, call a javascript function [ write as self.close() or window.close()] to close the pop up window once after viewing the content in that pop up..

 

Hope this helps. If u find this post useful to u, please mark as a solution...

 

 

thanks,

Hi Guys,

I also have this kind of functions in my VF page. I used onmouseover event and onmoiuseout events to do. But what is to do if i want to stay back in popup section to see something once i hover on it. The popup is getting hidden as soon as i am moving out of that element. 

Please help me if you have any suggestions.

Regards,
Kumarsan M
