HTML - Help With Popup Windows Code

Hey there, I'm trying to code my site for not only IE8 but also IE6/7 versions. I can't seem to figure out how to download the earlier versions without either getting rid of IE8 or just not being able to download them. Is it possible for me to have IE6, 7, and 8 on one computer?

Thanks,

I have to write a html code where i have to jump to 2 urls on click a object.

presently i have written a code to jump to one url only

"<a href=\"http://bodev:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AdknCqrhpYZKkFBzpe1wbsU&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=N&sWindow=New\" title=\"\" target=\"_self\" nav=\"doc\">"+"Click State"+"</a>"

When I click the object with text Click State, a new window pops ups with url.

So, the requirement is now to pop open 2 windows when i click Click state

The first url is as above and the second code is
"<a href=\"http://bodev:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AYhtqwsujalMpBHSjfT0hF0&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=N&sWindow=New\" title=\"\" target=\"_self\" nav=\"doc\">"+[State]+"</a>"



Note: My program embeds these codes, so i need to use <a href> and </a>

hi guys,
I am new here and my friend says he always gets help when he comes on this forum so I will follow in his foot steps.

My problem is this;
I am building my website and I have come up to a wall.
I have 4 different playlist that I want to come out on a pop up window which I already configured and all but I can't seem to get my links to open in the same pop up window.
I want to be able to click on a link and it opens it in the same pop up that is already there. Is that possible.


This is the code that I am using:

<p>These are our current playlists:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href='media/gospel playlist/gospel player.html' target="_blank" onClick="window.open('media/gospel playlist/gospel player.html', '', 'scrollbars=auto, menubar=no, height=500, width=400, resizable=no, toolbar=no, location=no, status=no'); return false;">GOSPEL</a></p>

<p><a href='media/hiphop playlist/hiphop player.html' target="_blank" onClick="window.open('media/hiphop playlist/hiphop player.html', '', 'scrollbars=auto, menubar=no, height=500, width=400, resizable=no, toolbar=no, location=no, status=no'); return false;">HIPHOP - R&amp;B - REGGAE</a></p>

<p><a href='media/zouk playlist/zouk player.html' target="_blank" onClick="window.open('media/zouk playlist/zouk player.html', '', 'scrollbars=auto, menubar=no, height=500, width=400, resizable=no, toolbar=no, location=no, status=no'); return false;">ZOUK - KONPA - LATIN</a></p>

<p><a href='media/jazz playlist/jazz player.html' target="_self" onClick="window.open('media/jazz playlist/jazz player.html', '', 'scrollbars=auto, menubar=no, height=500, width=400, resizable=no, toolbar=no, location=no, status=no'); return false;">LOVE SONGS - JAZZ - BLUES</a></p>

Hi.

I'm trying to replicate an old app that used to be in the App Store. It let you log into xbox.com, and take your friends list and various other info, and put a nice interface over it.

Right now I'm having real trouble even logging into xbox.com, or live.login.com. You can see my webapp here. For some reason it doesn't work. I even tried using all the HTML which doesn't seem to work either. Does anybody know how to fix this, OR another way to login to xbox.com to get the info.

Thanks.

Hi,

Wonder if you can help please.

I have a long established ASP page called carkeys.asp - which does not work on my new Linux hosting (whoops should have know that). Before I change back to a windows platform is there anyway this page can be bounced to the replacement page at carkeys.html?

The .asp page is well ranked with google and I would like its statistics to be directed to the new html page.

I have code for the re-direction, but the page cannot be viewed to get this far.

Many thanks for any help you can give

I have been working on this thing forever!! I am in desperate need of help!!

I currently am running an HTA file called h1.hta and I want to be able to open another HTA called h2.hta that will take in parameters and close the current HTA.

I am using this snippet of code to open the new h2.hta(parameters) within my current h1.hta :

nextpage = h2.hta?trial=2&condition=1

//vbscript
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run(nextpage)

When I run this, I get a "File not Found" error. I believe it's because the file in the system is entitled h2.hta and when i send it with the parameters, it does not recognize.

My question is how do I go to another hta file with parameters???

Popup Windows: The Basics

We'll begin the tutorial by creating a basic popup window. The technique described here addresses all the major issues in popups. The popup always comes to the front. Different links can target the same popup. The code is simple and easily modified. Everything for the rest of the turorial is a variation on the theme described here. The code in this page creates a popup that is opened from a link. In this section we'll show the code with just the minimal description you need to get it going.

First, copy this script into the <HEAD> section of your page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
   href=mylink;
else
   href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

For now we'll skip the details of how the script works, and move to the next step. The script above opens the popup, but something needs to run the script. The most common situation is that the script is run when the user clicks on a link. A link like the following would run the script:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="popupbasic.html" 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')">my popup</A>

Most of the link is as usual. The URL of the page being linked to is in the HREF attribute. We've added an additional attribute called onClick. Copy the code as it is into your link, with only a small modification. The second argument of the popup() -- 'notes' -- indicates name of the popup window. Every popup window should have its own unique name. Be sure to put the name in single quotes (''). So if you want to name the popup 'stevie' then this would be the code:

HTML Code:

<A HREF="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'stevie')">my popup</A>

Read This Next Part Or You'll Go Insane Trying to Figure Out Why Your Popup Doesn't Work

A small but crucial point is often overlooked. The command in onClick must begin with return or the script won't work. Be sure to start the command with return like this:
HTML Code:

onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"

And don't put a space in the page name between the single quotes. If you do, the link will act just like a regular link.

Popup Windows: From an Image Map

In our first variation we'll open the popup from an image map instead of from a regular anchor. We'll use the same script as from our first example. With that script, an <AREA ...> tag in an image map can be made to open a popup in exactly the same way as an <A ...> tag:

HTML Code:

<MAP NAME="index">
<AREA 
   HREF="mypopup.html" ALT="My Popup"
   COORDS="10,10,120,120" SHAPE=RECT 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')">
<AREA 
   SHAPE=RECT ALT="Your Popup"
   COORDS="140,10,180,50" HREF="yourpopup.html" 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')">

<AREA SHAPE=DEFAULT NOHREF>
</MAP>

<IMG SRC="mymap.gif" HEIGHT=130 WIDTH=190 ALT="Image Map Example"
BORDER="0" USEMAP="#index">

Popup Windows: Opening Automatically

In the first two examples (Popup Windows: The Basics and Popup Windows: From an Image Map) the popup is opened when the user clicks on something. In this example the popup opens automatically.

We'll use the same script as in the first example. Copy this script in the <HEAD> section of your page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
   href=mylink;
else
   href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

This time, instead of running the script from a link we'll run it from the onLoad attribute of the <BODY ...> tag.

HTML Code:

<BODY onLoad="popup('autopopup.html', 'ad')">

The command in onLoad is run when the document is finished loading. Like in our previous example, the command runs popup(), but this time the first argument for popup() is a little different. In the previous example we put this, meaning the link itself, and the script got the URL from the link. In this case there is no link so we pass the actual URL to open. So in our example we put 'autopopup.html'.

Popup Windows: From a Form

For our next variation on the popup theme we're going to open the popup from a form. In this example we're going to change the script around. The following script is custom designed for opening a popup from a form. It works with forms that use both POST and GET. Copy the following script exactly as-is into the <HEAD> section of your document:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popupform(myform, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
window.open('', windowname, 'height=200,width=400,scrollbars=yes');
myform.target=windowname;
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Now we'll add some code so that the popup opens when the user submits the form. Add an onSubmit attribute to <FORM ...> tag:

HTML Code:

<FORM METHOD=POST
   ACTION="../cgi-bin/mypopupcgi.pl"
   onSubmit="popupform(this, 'join')">

The first argument for popupform() is always this, meaning the form itself. The second argument, 'join' in this case, is a unique name for the popup.

Popup Windows: Targeting the Opener

Once a popup window has been created, linking from the popup back to the main window (i.e. the window which opened the popup) is a little trickier than might be expected. The problem is that the main window doesn't have a "name" the way the popup window does. Fortunately, JavaScript provides an answer in the form of opener.

To create links in the popup window that target back to the main window, first put this JavaScript in the <HEAD> of the popup page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function targetopener(mylink, closeme, closeonly)
{
if (! (window.focus && window.opener))return true;
window.opener.focus();
if (! closeonly)window.opener.location.href=mylink.href;
if (closeme)window.close();
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

A link that uses this script looks like this:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="rbex.html" 
   onClick="return targetopener(this)">my page</A>

Popup Windows: Closing When They Go to the Opener

In the previous example the link in the popup targets the main page, but the popup stays open in the background after the user clicks on the link. In this page we'll set the link so that it closes the popup after the click.

targetopener takes three parameters. The first is always this, meaning the link itself. The second and third parameters are optional and default to false. (Notice we don't use them in the example above, we'll get to them shortly.) The second parameter indicates if the popup should close. The third is if the link should actually send the opener to the linked resource, or if the opener should just get the focus regardless of what its current page is. The third parameter provides a safe way to close the popup after closing, but still having a link to an existing page if the window isn't actually a popup (such as if the user found the page through a search engine).

When the user clicks on the link, targetopener checks if the browser has the focus command (a few older browsers don't) and if the current window was opened by another window. If these conditions are true, then the opener window gets the focus, the opener is directed to the referenced URL, and the script returns false. Because the function returns false, the link does not go on to the URL (the script has already done that). Note that the link which targets the opener is a little different than the link that opened the popup window to begin with. In this link, onClick says "return goOpener(this)"... the links on the previous pages did not use return.

By default, the popup window stays open but is in the background. If you want the popup to close after going back to the opener, add a second parameter of true to the targetopener function call:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="rbex.html" 
   onClick="return targetopener(this,true)">main page</A>

Hi.
My website is http://scissorhands.50megs.com

It's just an old personal website that I don't really update very often.

But, I can't figure out why it's not working the way it used to work.
It used to have a narrow, vertical part on the left side, which was a navigation bar (with choices to click on) and the right was aa much bigger window that took up most of the page and it would change when you clicked on the left side. The left is supposed to stay the same. But now it's gone all crazy!

The part that says "Welcome" is supposed to be in a big window on the right side and the links that say "About Me," "Things I've Written," etc... should be in the narrow window on the left that doesn't change.

Would someone please help me put it back to how it used to be?

Thanks.

I am trying to create a pop-up window from a link that is within an inline frame. I know the code I am using is correct as when I place the link outside of the inline frame, it works perfectly. It is when the link is placed within the inline frame that it acts up - it opens itself like a regular link within the frame (except that all my pages have frame break on them so it just works to open the page within the same window).

This is the code I am using for the frame in my head section...

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
href=mylink;
else
href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=1000,height=700,scrollbars=no');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

and this is the script I am using for the link itself...

<A hREF="news.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"><img align="right" src="news.jpg" border=0></A>

This is my website I'm testing this on: www.kingsfieldfarm.net/index3.html The lower link (outside of the inline frame) works. The link inside the frame does not.

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

(and PS: Does anyone know how to centre the pop up window and get rid of the address bar?)

Hello,

I am making this site on a Mac and having no problems with it, untill I look at it in Explorer on Windows PC, where it shows strange gaps in the layout of the tables. Sometimes I solve these problems by changing the background colour or moving an element to the top, but I think Im just busy covering up the main problem and not really solving it. So my question is: Does anybody have an idea what causes this problem, aside from the fact that these are different types of computers, and how to solve it, if there is a common solution to it?

If anyone could have a look at it, would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Ive had this code before back when I was in school. It simulated the windows start bar in the explorer where if you clicked the start button a list of directories came up and you could select a htm file within that was linked in it...and it would have a tab in the bottom next to that start button that would allow you to switch between them like tabs essentially. I was wondering if anyone happened to have that code by chance its been a long time and I couldn't seem to find it by searching.

Thanks in Advance

I'm trying to make a website for personal use that will open multiple search engines with one keyword search. I'm not quite sure how to have a text-field input the suggested keyword in the search query portion of the html code. Here's what I have so far:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function open_win() {
window.open("http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=asdf&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8")
window.open("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=asdf&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=")
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form>
<input type=button value="Open Windows" onclick="open_win()">
</form>
</body>

</html>



What I'm trying to do is replace the "asdf" portion of the code in both the yahoo and the google search parameters to something from an <input type=text> form. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

I had this question for anyone in this forum who has time.

I am attempting to make a pop-up menu in dreamweaver and have done everythign as correctly as I can, yet no pop-up menu appears... what am I doing wrong?

I have made them in exactly the same fashion before and they worked fine... any ideas? I've added the mm_menu.js file to my main server space.

This is where it should pop-up on the left 'photography' button... page 1, page 2, etc. 'View source code' if that helps. Thanks for anyones assistance.
