New Window

[CyBerAliEn]

Hey,

I've been messing with the following code (example)

<a href="javascript:window.open ('PAGE.HTM', 'newwindow', config='height=200,width=200, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no')"> LINK TEXT</a>

(might need to view page source to see HTML code)

but when I use that code to open a new window, it opens a page that says [Object] in the main window that the link was opened from. What can I do or what am I doing wrong, so that the original page on the main page stays, and only the new page/etc is opened in the new window? Please help ASAP!

Thanks

I used a function to accomplish this.

First, create a javascript function to open the window. Then, call it in the onclick event of your href.

< SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function openWin(){
aWindow=window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","thewindow","width=640,height=450,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes");
}
< /SCRIPT>


< A HREF="#" ONCLICK="openWin();">Yahoo</A>

Good luck

Hey,

Thanks for the help. But what if I want more than just one window that opens to different files? Also, can they open images too?

Thanks

Sure, no problem.

For the image, just specify it's path. E.g.

aWindow=window.open("http://www.site.com/picture.gif","thewindow"," width=640, ...

To open two windows, just add another line to the function. Make sure to specify a different window name !

aWindow=window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","thewindow"," width=640, ...
aWindow=window.open("http://www.google.com","<b>otherwindow</b>"," width=640, ...
