JavaScript - Combining Window.open With An Invoked Button
I've created a single form with multiple buttons. I am now attempting to have a couple of these buttons open a new window when clicked. The new window opens fine but the original browser window keeps opening to an [object Window] page. I believe this is because it is not reading the "return false" correctly but I am not sure how to fix this.
Code: function invoke(btn) { if(btn == 0) document.Lockdate.action="Button1.php"; if(btn == 1) document.Lockdate.action="window.open('Button2.php'); return false;" document.Lockdate.submit(); } And then here is the code for the buttons themselves: Code: <input type="button" value="Button1" onclick="invoke(0)"> <input type="button" value="Button2" onclick="invoke(1)"> Similar Tutorialswindow.open() doesn't open an entirely new window in FF3.6, just a new tab suggestions? Edit: Yeah, ok, so if i specify a size smaller than the current standard window, it'll be forced to open a new window. but what if i want a new standard sized window to open entirely? and in any case, i wan t amore direct solution where possible, thanks. Hi Ive found out how to force another browser window to open at a certain size when a link is clicked. Here's the whole line of code including the layer, the javascript and the image, <div id="Layer6" style="position:absolute; width:10px; height:8px; z-index:6; left: 561px; top: 310px"><a href="javascript:;" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('navigation%20instructions.htm','','width=50,height=50')"><img src="images/info.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0"></a></div> How do I adapt this so I can also specify the x&y co-ordinates of the opened window relative to the window that launched it. thanks alot Masten I am using a window.open to trigger a mailto: command. I don't want the window to stay open so I try to close it right after. The default email client launches correctly, but the window stays open and I get the following Javascript error: Unable to get value of the property 'close': object is null or undefined Code: Code: var win = window.open(mailto_link,'emailWindow'); win.close(); I do write some php, but have not much idea about JavaScript. I use window.open to open 10 pages simultaneously. I prefer to open them with a time delay from each other to put less load on the target server. This is my code with no delay. (I played around with setTimeout but can't get it to work.) PHP Code: <a href='http://www.".$new[9]."' onclick="window.open('http://www.".$new[0]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[1]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[2]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[3]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[4]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[5]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[6]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[7]."/'); window.open('http://www.".$new[8]."/')\" target='new300/'>Open 10</a> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++first window+++++++++++++++++++++++++ <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> var myWindow; function christDoes(){ mydWindow=open("second.html", "yes"); } </script> </head> <body><form name="myform" method=POST ACTION="sake.html" ><CENTER> <B>ENTER YOUR SUBJECT</B><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="subject"> <input type="button" name="ok" value="OK" onClick="christDoes()"> </form> </body> </html> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++parent window+++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++child window++++++++++++++++++++++ <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> function me(){ displayColor(); } function displayColor() { callWindow=window.open("third.html","fine"); } var m=0; var fSubject = self.opener.document.forms[0].subject.value; if(fSubject.length>0){ if(isNaN(fSubject)){fSubject="";} else{opener.alert("Please enter figure");} numSub=parseInt(fSubject); if(numSub==2){var strSub="ab";} self.document.write("<center>" +"ENTER SUBJECT HERE" +"</center><br>"); var mercy="<HTML><BODY>" mercy +="<FORM ACTION='save.html' METHOD='POST'>" mercy +="<CENTER>" sub=new Array(strSub.length); for(var i=0; i<sub.length; i++){ m++; mercy +=m +"<input type='text' name='sub[i].toLowerCase()'>" +"<BR>"; opener.alert("You have entered" +m +"subjects"); } } mercy +="</CENTER></FORM></BODY></HTML><BR></BR>"; self.document.write(mercy +"<BR>"); self.document.bgColor="pink"; self.document.write("<center>" +"<input type='button' name='submit' value='SUBMIT'>" +"<center>"); } </script> </head> <body onload='me()'> </body> </html> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++child window++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++new window+++++++++++++++++++++ <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> function help(){ self.document.write("this is me") self.document.write("<center>" +"<input type='button' name='submit' value='SUBMIT'>" +"<center>"); } </script> </head> <body onLoad="help"> </body> </html> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++new window+++++++++++++++++++++ Can somebody help me with the code to make this button work?

I am using Mozilla 3.6 could this mean that it doesn't support this? Hi, In my "main.js" file I need to create a new window with a button. If the button clicked a function in the "main.js" file is called. I tried the following, but new window does not see the function in the "main.js" file. function create_new_window() { my_window = window.open ("","mywindow1","status=1,width=350,height=150"); my_window.document.write('<H1>My Window ...</H1>'); my_window.document.write('<form><input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="submitData();"/></form>'); .... } function submitData() { ... } Code: <a href=" javascript: myWindow = window.open('http://en59.tribalwars.net/game.php?village=3463&screen=premium&mode=transfer'); myWindow.document.forms[0].name.value='Gods Child';end" target="_blank">Donate Please</a> So, what I am trying to do is when you click the link, a new page opens to that site, then does document.forms[0].name.value='Gods Child'; I can get the page to open, but then it doesn't do the second part. If I run the second part in the url bar, when at the other site, it works how I want too, but not when I do it at the same time. NOTE: The only part that needs to be in this is document.forms[0].name.value='Gods Child'; and the link, but you can change the rest however you want. Hello, I want to know how to open a new window when someone is closing a page. I mean for example, I have to two pages, if the user closes the first page when he clicks on Close button or close in his tab, a new window will open to open the second page. Thank you.
when a user click on a link, it would open a new window in HTML it is something like this: Code: <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">click here</a> How do I do this in Javascript? So a user would click on the link and it would open a new window. Here's my code Code: document.writeln('<tr><td>' + "http://google.com" + '</td></tr>'); I know window.open(url) would open a new window, but how do I make it clickable?? Any comments or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. thanks Code: <SCRIPT language=JavaScript> function DoSearch() { if (document.frmSearchID.txtIssueID.value != "") { if (isNaN(document.frmSearchID.txtIssueID.value)) { alert('Issue Numbers must be numeric');} else {document.location = "http://www.****.com/Apps/AddIssues/EditIssue.asp?IssueID=" + document.frmSearchID.txtIssueID.value + "&ProjectID=LRUSTARS";}}} </SCRIPT> <FORM style="display:inline" target="_blank" action="http://www.****.com/default.asp?ProjectID=LRUSTARS#" name="frmSearchID" onSubmit="javascript:DoSearch();return false;" method="post"> <INPUT class="formField1" name="txtIssueID"> <INPUT class="formBox" onClick="javascript:DoSearch(); return false;" type="submit" name="search" VALUE="Search"> </form> Cant seem to get it to open in a new window any help? Hi I'm new here and need some help; I spent so long with this and need either a miracle or a javascript expert! I have the code below which is used to open up a chat window, the problem is all browser treat this as a pop up and block it! What could be changed to get round this? $chat = "window.open( '" . SK_Navigation::href("private_chat", array("userKey"=>$pr_key, "oppUserKey"=>$opp_key, 'is_esd_session'=>1 )) . "', '', 'height=540,width=415,left=100,top=100,scrollbars=no,resizable=no' );"; Thanks dr Hi all, I found this bookmarklet which I'm using in Firefox. Would anyone here be willing to modify it to display its results in a new tab, instead of using the current tab? Thanks in advance. Code: javascript:q=""+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection? document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text);if(!q) q=prompt("Search terms [leave selection and box blank to list all pages] ...").replace(/\s\+/g,"%252B");if(q!=null)location="http://www.google.com /search?q="+q.replace(/\s+/g,"+")+"+site:"+location.hostname;void(0); Hi Folks, here is the weirdest problem. I want open a url in the same window, replacing the current page. To test this I have created a simple script. The setup: I have two files in the same folder. abc.html and xyz.html. abc.html contains a button that calls this script: Code: function openWindow() { window.open( "xyz.html" ) ; } And this works fine, just as a test. But I want to open xyz.html in the same window, replacing abc.html . So I try: Code: window.open( "xyz.html" , "_self" ) ; does not work but simply reloads abc.html. I try: Code: window.location.href = "xyz.html"; does not work, but, again, simply reloads abc.html. What gives? The odd thing is, when it reloads the same page, abc.html, the address bar displays this at the end of the address: abc.html?button=Submit Any ideas on what may be going wrong here, or how I can get this to work? All this is being tested locally on my laptop - MacBook - and have tested in Safari and Firefox with the same results for both. Thanks in advance! Hi All: I have a problem with a free script for an internal site search and I would like to tweek. I know nothing about javascript so be patient.

Can anyone help? I have a PARENT HTML page. Within it, there is an iFrame. Let us call page inside of iFrame is CHILD. I would like to following things: 1. When click button in CHILD, A NEW full size page opens and mouse focus moves to NEW. I used following scripts: function openFullWin(urlPara) { var windowFeatures = 'menubar=1,modal=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,toolbar=1,width=' + screen.availWidth + ',height=' + screen.availHeight + ',left=0,top=0'; var winNew = window.open(urlPara, '', windowFeatures); winNew.focus(); this.blur(); } In Firefox, if only PARENT widow there. It works property. However, if there is another window there, the focus moved to that window rather than the NEW. In IE, if there is another window there, the NEW open as a tab in that window, rather than as tab in PARENT. 2. When click button in CHILD, A NEW full size page opens and mouse focus moves to NEW. At meantime, the CHILD changes to a NEWCHILD page, but not on focus. I am never being able to do this. Please help. 3. When click button in CHILD, A NEW full size page opens to replace PARENT. Of course, the CHILD disappeared too. I am never being able to do this. Please help. Hi, I want to open a new window and then execute some js function on that window.
