I have been revamping the way the forum looks with a view to come away from pop-up pages. Current when you are in the pop_profile and you click 'Click to send me an email' it opens pop_mail.asp in a new window. I have removed the javascript tag at the fron of the link so that the email form opens in the same window.
What I have done so far is changed the way the pop_mail.asp looks with a header and expanded the table area out to look similar to other forum pages, but what I am stuck on is trying to ensure there is the forum header and footer on the page. Also I would like to see the navigation directory tree on the form too.

Is there an easy way to join the pop_mail.asp to a page with header, directory and footer or simply add the code to pop_mail.asp.. Something like this:
Thank you

It's because it uses inc_header_short.asp and WriteFooterShort. Have you tried replacing these lines of code within pop_mail.asp to inc_header.asp and WriteFooter? The former is near the top and the latter is at the bottom.<

Thank you! - with a little more fiddling I established the tree structure at the top..<

Cool! Is it how you want it yet?<

yes thanks..The only niggling bit is when the page opens there is a gap between the top line of the directory tree and the live chat link, which does not appear on all other pages. <

Post a link to a txt version and we'll fix your gap issue.<

Hmmmmm... I think I might like this idea....<

The simplest way, after you've changed the javascript routine, is to eliminate the response.clear line above the confirmation "Email has been sent" code.
Then you should add a meta-refresh back to default.asp following the confirmation.
Something like this:

That way it doesn't clear the screen but keeps your header/footer from pop_mail; then eliminates the Email table itself, adds the confirmation below the "Send an EMail Message ..." bit; pauses for two seconds, and returns to your main forum.<

bobby131313 re "Hmmmmm... I think I might like this idea...." have a butchers and see what you think, you will note that an email will not be sent as there is a spammer routine in the code to stop emails until a certain amount of genuine posts have been approved on the forum..

Personally, I prefer this method of pop_mail.asp as it gets away from pop ups..

That shouldn't prevent you downloading it, I was able to open it fine, what browser/version are you using ?<

I too couldn't open it. I got an error about the certificate. However, I clicked on the link that said something to the effect of "Go to website anyway, not recommended" and I got there fine.<

HuwR Quote: "what browser/version are you using ?" ( IE7 - XP SR3 Home) .. But like leatherlips have to go the non-recommended route..<

Well as long as you were able to get it, everything's ok. Let me know if it fixed what you needed.<

Carefree absolutely.. spot on fix and the finished article is below (I say finished well near as dam it) Thanks to all for the priceless help, especially leatherlips for behind the scenes testing and advise.. Screenshot here:
