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…

nice to meet you :)
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,
