So in my last post I simply wanted to show an input form in a SharePoint 2010 modal window. This got my creative juices flowing and I wanted to experiment a little. I found out that you can easily display anything in the Modal window that you wanted.
Web Site: Bing
<a onclick="javascript:NewItem2(event, "http://www.bing.com");
javascript:return false;" href="http://www.bing.com/" target="_self">Show Bing In Modal Window</a>
<a onclick="javascript:NewItem2(event, "http://sitename/Images/image.png");
javascript:return false;" href="/images/image.png/" target="_self">Show Image</a>
Video/Games
This does not really work since most video’s open up in a separate application like Window Media Player and not within the browser. However you can use things like flash .swf files to show in the modal window.
<a onclick="javascript:NewItem2(event, "http://www.microsoft.com/games/gamesforwindows/games/madagascar2/Mad2_Final_ENU.swf");
javascript:return false;" href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/gamesforwindows/games/madagascar2/Mad2_Final_ENU.swf" target="_self">Flash Game</a>
So basically you can show basically anything that you have a link to and can be visible within a browser.
Enjoy, and let me know what creative things you have placed in your modal window…

This is really helpful, thanks for sharing it, is there a way to fix the height and width of this page? I would like to link to a very simple form on an external website, but it needs to be a little wider.
Excelent!!!
How do you change the "Dialog" title in the top of the modal window?
change the title of the destination page and the dialog will show it
you want try this...
popup with javascript">
nice to meet you :)
Is there a way to control the dialog's size?
How do you find out what the NewItem2() scripts parameters are? Other than find places in SharePoint where MS are using it? API definitions???
Cheers,
Brett
