URL Button to show a form element in pop up window?
Basically, this is just an aesthetic request. How can I have a javascript window to pop up and show a specific field? ie <button: Show name > Pop up window: George Washington

Tony,
Here is a low tech solution which does not require javascript.
Make a URL formula button set to open in a new window (there is a checkbox for this)
URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=dr&dfid=10&rid=" & totext([Record ID#])
This will not be a small pop up though, it will be a new tab and it will open up form ID# 10 which would be a new super mini form why just that field on it.
if you like you can put this Text formula button with html enabled on the form to help the user easily close the Tab. I'm not 100% sure it works on all Browsers, you would need to test.
var text URL = "JavaScript:window.open('','_parent','');window.close();";
var text Image = "<img src=https://images.quickbase.com/si/48/832-close.png>";
"<a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Image & "</a>"
