I tried creating an extension that would add some JavaScript code to the Guest page but I cannot get it to work.

I used the following schema in "Initializer.js":
Code:

SC.event.addGlobalHandler(SC.event.PreRender, function (eventArgs) {
	if (SC.context.pageType == 'GuestPage')
	{
		var newWin = null;
                function popUp(strURL, strType, strWidth, strHeight) {
                   LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-strWidth)/2 : 0;
                   TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-strHeight)/2 : 0;
                   if (newWin != null && !newWin.closed)
                        newWin.close();
                   var strOptions="";
                   if (strType=="consoleC")
                       strOptions="resizable,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
                       strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
                   newWin = window.open(strURL, 'newWin', strOptions);
                   newWin.focus();
                }
	}
});


I have some links in the "JoinPanel.SupportPromptMessage" that I would like to open in a new window, with a specified size, when they are clicked. The JavaScript code works if I simply paste it to the end of the "Global.js" file.

I also would like to know how to include a JavaScript file, instead of pasting the code directly into an extension. Lastly, how would you include a JavaScript file, site-wide?

Stepping back, what exactly are you trying to add? Are you wanting to add a Guest action panel with links that, when clicked, opens a new tab or window?

Sorry again, not sure that I'm following though, do you want to include an external javascript file?

Extensions contain a Manifest.xml file which can contain multiple components. One of these components can be a ClientScriptInitializer and when included, said javascript file is automatically included site-wide assuming the extension is enabled.

Code:

<ClientScriptInitializer SourceFile="Initializer.js" />


It doesn't have to be named Initializer.js, infact it would probably make debugging easier down the road if it wasn't.

Sorry if my questions were not clear. I responded in-line, below:

I have enabled 'JoinPanel.SupportPromptVisible' on the guest page. I have included links, in that pop-up, that use JavaScript to open the linked page in a new window, of a particular size. I have already created an extension that includes the necessary JavaScvript code to open the pre-sized window but it does not work with 'JoinPanel.SupportPromptVisible'. However, if I paste the same JavaScript code to the bottom of the 'Global.js' file, it works.

I was asking what is the code to include an external JavaScript file rather than pasting the actual JavaScript code of an external file into the "Initializer.js" file of an extension. When I was asking about site-wide, I was asking how do I include JavaScript that would apply to all pages instead of using the following that applies only to the guest page assuming an extension is being used:
Code:
if (SC.context.pageType == 'GuestPage')
Is 'JoinPanel.SupportPromptVisible' an iframe? Is that why the code above does not work with the pop-up?

I already have this in my 'Manifest.xml'. I neglected to include all of the code in my previous post. I have created a couple of "test" extensions that do work as expected so I understand the basic concept but the code I included in my original post does not work on the links in the 'JoinPanel.SupportPromptVisible'.

No, I believe it's just a div created within our modal dialog framework.

As to why it's not working I'm not sure, are you attempting to override the prototype for window.open()? You could try not adding the handler to the PreRender and just instead load it into the DOM directly (but likely still filtering on the page type).

What does the code look like that invokes your 'popUp' method?

I simply want the page that is linked in 'JoinPanel.SupportPromptMessage' to open in a new window, of the size specified.

Below is the code I have for the 'JoinPanel.SupportPromptMessage' pop-up:
Code:
<p style="font-weight:bold;">You must accept our <a href="https://www.mysite.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1345/15/remote-support-policy" target='_blank' onclick="popUp(this.href,'elasticNoC',1010,725);return false;">Terms & Conditions</a> before continuing.</p>


Below is the code for my extension:
Initializer.js:
Code:

SC.event.addGlobalHandler(SC.event.PreRender, function (eventArgs) {
	if (SC.context.pageType == 'GuestPage'){
		// JavaScript Document
		var newWin = null;
		function popUp(strURL, strType, strWidth, strHeight) {
		LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-strWidth)/2 : 0;
		TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-strHeight)/2 : 0;
		 if (newWin != null && !newWin.closed)
		   newWin.close();
		 var strOptions="";
		 if (strType=="consoleC")
		   strOptions="resizable,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="fixedC")
		   strOptions="status,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="elasticC")
		   strOptions="toolbar,menubar,scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,location,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		if (strType=="elasticNoC")
		   strOptions="scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		if (strType=="console")
		   strOptions="resizable,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="fixed")
		   strOptions="status,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="elastic")
		   strOptions="toolbar,menubar,scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,location,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		if (strType=="elasticNo")
		   strOptions="scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 newWin = window.open(strURL, 'newWin', strOptions);
		 newWin.focus();
		}
     }
});


manifest.xml:
Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ExtensionManifest>
	<Version>1.0</Version>
	<Name>TEST - Add Window Resize JS</Name>
	<Author></Author>
	<ShortDescription>The bare minimum needed for a new extension.</ShortDescription>
	<Components>
		<ClientScriptInitializer SourceFile="Initializer.js" />
	</Components>
</ExtensionManifest>


My extension does not work but if I simply delete or disable the extension and paste the following code to the bottom of the 'Global.js' file, it works.
Code:

// JavaScript Document
		var newWin = null;
		function popUp(strURL, strType, strWidth, strHeight) {
		LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-strWidth)/2 : 0;
		TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-strHeight)/2 : 0;
		 if (newWin != null && !newWin.closed)
		   newWin.close();
		 var strOptions="";
		 if (strType=="consoleC")
		   strOptions="resizable,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="fixedC")
		   strOptions="status,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="elasticC")
		   strOptions="toolbar,menubar,scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,location,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		if (strType=="elasticNoC")
		   strOptions="scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,top="+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+",height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		if (strType=="console")
		   strOptions="resizable,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="fixed")
		   strOptions="status,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 if (strType=="elastic")
		   strOptions="toolbar,menubar,scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,location,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		if (strType=="elasticNo")
		   strOptions="scrollbars,"+
		     "resizable,height="+
		     strHeight+",width="+strWidth;
		 newWin = window.open(strURL, 'newWin', strOptions);
		 newWin.focus();
		}

Finally figured out how to get this to work.

I moved my JS code to a separate file named resize.js.

Below is the code for my extension:
Initializer.js:
Code:

SC.util.includeScript(extensionContext.baseUrl + 'resize.js');
