Spawn 3 for Expression Web 3

Spawn 3 for Expression Web 3 is now available! This updated version of our popular popup window generator for Expression Web adds some significant new features. Our customers love Spawn! Here's what one happy customer said about Spawn.

It's a quick and easy program that lets me display our products exactly the way I want. It was fast and easy to install and to learn to use, and a very efficient way for visitors to our website to take a look at our items. It looks a lot more professional than the way I used to do it before I found Spawn. If you'd like to see how it works for us, go to www.timspartycentre.com/rentals.htm. It is a great tool and the price is right.

Here are some of the great new features in Spawn 3.

New CSS Browser

Spawn can be used on practically any HTML element. If you want to control the appearance of the element you're using for your popup, CSS is your best option. Spawn 3 incorporates a new CSS browser that shows you all of the CSS rules from your page's style sheets, whether linked or embedded. Simply choose a CSS rule and Spawn will use it to style your popup element.

Event Triggers

Just like Expression Web Behaviors, Spawn uses event triggers on the selected HTML element to launch popups. There are multiple event triggers available for each element. The event triggers that are available depend upon the type of element that is selected.

W3Schools Integration

Spawn 3 provides integration with W3Schools. By clicking the reference lookup icon for the selected element, you can get quick and thorough documentation on the element from the w3schools.com site.

W3Schools Integration Built-in

Full Support for Dynamic Web Templates

Spawn 3 detects when you are inserting a popup on a page that uses a Dynamic Web Template. So that the Spawn JavaScript isn't overwritten by the Dynamic Web Template, Spawn will show you a list of editable regions on the page so that you can select where you want the Spawn JavaScript added. Not sure which editable region you should choose? Spawn's integrated Help system can help you decide!

Dynamic Web Template Support

Keeps Your Pages Clean

When you remove a Spawn popup, Spawn 3 will check to see if it's the only popup on the page. If it is, Spawn 3 will notify you and ask if you want to remove the Spawn script so that you can keep your pages clean and free of unused JavaScript code.

Interface Helpers
