I have a wireframe in Balsamiq.
I know how to link to another screen.
I would like to click a button and open a popup on the same screen. Is it possible with Balsamiq?
Unfortunately, this is not something you can achieve in our little tool which has low interactivity on purpose, as detailed here: https://blogs.balsamiq.com/ux/2011/06/17/why-we-arent-doing-interaction/
The Linking feature is indeed the best way to achieve this result in Balsamiq Mockups.

Can I put a HTML code in my chrome extension's icon? According to the Google API (setBadgeText) this isn't possible.
Is there any way to put it there?
While .setBadgeText is, as implied by name, text-only, you can draw anything and set that as your icon.
You'll need to draw on a <canvas>, extract image data and use .setIcon({imageData: /*...*/}) to update the icon.
See this question for a brief example, and maybe this article.
It's not quite "using HTML", but with some work you can output anything to your icon.
Badge is plain text only as can be seen in source code. There's no way around.
Sorry if my query's a bit noobish, a uwp beginner here.
I'm trying to morph the hamburger template from template10 and an existing project of mine. Basically, I'd like to have a certain page with the hamburger menu being invisible, and display my own navigation buttons on the page (an intro page). Upon navigation away to any other page the menu will be visible again.
I tried changing Hamburger's visibility state as an experiment, but it seems to be affecting the content as well. Is what I'm talking about possible with this control and I'm missing something obvious? Or I'd have to manage shell usage in app.xaml and load my intro page without the shell?
Many thanks for the creation of the t10 btw (Jerry, Daren and everyone else), me being confused in this thing doesn't at all diminish my appreciation
There are a few options for you here. IsPaneOpen will only work for you depending on the DisplayMode you choose. But if I were to guess, it's HamburgerMenu,.IsFullScreen that you are really wanting to use here.
You can change the SplitView mode to Inline and set IsPaneOpen to false. That will hide the Pane.
I am asking for help, we have a request dialog in our app, but it appears partly out of the screen so its croped a bit on the right side.
We would like to center it so it wouldn`t be croped. Would anyone know how to fix that please?
Thanks
I had the same problem. I'm not sure about the way how to position dialog itself. IMHO it can also depend on location of click event. Anyway, I've found ugly, but quite functional way to fix it with JavaScript:
setInterval("$('.fb_dialog').css('left', '0');", 1500);
The dialog itself cannot be repositioned.
Are you using iframes in your code by any chance?
Try changing the width in your CSS file to something smaller and see if it makes a difference. The Request Dialog usually positions itself in the middle of a page by detecting the size of the page / frame.
It's currently impossible for a user to tell if clicking on something will load something in their current page or take them to a new page. I feel that this is why many sites use hoverable dropdown menus, so that they don't have to click anything. This can be messy, though, if you don't intentionally hover over something and forms the habit of hovering over things and expecting a result.
There should be a standard way to identify links as external or internal. Maybe a little hover effect or symbol used in the link?
Is there anything like this, and if not, should there be?
I believe by "internal" you mean that the link does some javascript thing, and does not load a new page.
I think an effective way to indicate an immediate action is by using a button style, rather than a standard looking link. A blue underlined link somehow seems much more likely to jump to a new page than something that looks like a button.
Give the button an appropriate label and/or symbol that indicates an instant action. For example, a button that expands a section open might use a little triangle that rotates as the expanding happens.
You can also establish a consistent style for "internal" actions, use a particular color or style for links that don't take the user to a new page. Sometimes I use blue for normal links and a shade of purple for internal ones.
In general, I find it isn't that important to specify. If a user sees a link or button that like it will get them what they want, they will click it. It is up to you as the designer of the website to decide if the most appropriate action is a new page, or an action on the current page. Unless the user is going to lose some work they have done, going to a new page shouldn't be a problem. If it really took the user by surprise, they can always go back. In my experience, users don't worry about it either way.
Could you please help me !!!! For example, I load some page into opera/Firefox etc., there is a text on the page (which is a link). What I need is to find position of the text on the screen and send mouse click to that position. Is it possible to do? If you can, give an example please!!!!
Use jquery. Examples on the site as well, for example: http://api.jquery.com/category/events/
You won't need to find the position of the link to click it. If using jQuery, the code would look something like:
$('a#id-of-link').click();
