JavaScript - Open Links In New Window With External Function
I need help turning the following inline code:
Code: <a href="http://www.bing.com/" name="bing" onclick="return !window.open(this.href)">Bing</a><br> <a href="http://www.lycos.com/" name="lycos" onclick="return !window.open(this.href)">Lycos</a><br> <a href="http://www.dogpile.com/" name="dogpile" onclick="return !window.open(this.href)">DogPile</a><br> into an external javascript function that will do the same thing (open all links in a new window individually if javascript is enabled, without destroying links in html for if javascript is not enabled). Any smarties out there have any good suggestions? Similar TutorialsI am completely a beginner at coding and really do not know much right now. This is the day of week link rotation script which works just great: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var MyEveryDayLinks = [ ['Sunday', 'http://www.google.com', 'Google'], ['Monday', 'myURL', 'LinkName'], ['Tuesday', 'myURL', 'LinkName'], ['Wednesday', 'myURL', 'LinkName'], ['Thursday', 'myURL', 'LinkName'], ['Friday', 'myURL', 'LinkName'], ['Saturday', 'myURL', 'LinkName'] ]; var today = new Date(); var L = today.getDay(); document.write('Today is ' + MyEveryDayLinks[L][0] + '. My daily URLs: <a href="' + MyEveryDayLinks[L][1] + '">' + MyEveryDayLinks[L][2] + '<\/a>.') ; // --> </script> Unfortunately I can't open urls in a new window. I would so like this to work...but don't know why i can't make it work. I've tried something like this with no luck...any ideas?: Code: <a href="javascript:[window.open(' + MyEveryDayLinks[L][1] + ', 'height=200, width=200',)];">' + MyEveryDayLinks[L][2] + '<\/a>.') ; Hi, How can I set the following widget so it opens the links (pages) in a new window?

Regards Rain Lover Instead of using window.open, which I understand opens a new window, is there a code that will make the link open in the parent window?
Hi there, I am trying to open some SWF videos from an HTML page. When the user clicks the link, I would like to have the videos open in a transparent window (not a separate browser wndow). I have figured out how to embed the files and have them open in a transparent window as soon as you load/refresh the page but I want to open the SWF using a link. Any suggestions? Thank you all. B Let me start of by saying that I'm a designer, not a programmer so I'll apologize in advance for having very little knowledge of javascript. I found a free script for a auto-advancing slideshow that allows you to give each image in the slideshow a unique link. My problem is that when you click on one of the pictures the link opens in a new window instead of loading in the default browser window. I have tried to search google for an answer but my lack of javascript knowledge has left me scratching my chin. Here's the code in the head of my page: Code: <script language="JavaScript1.1"> <!-- /* JavaScript Image slideshow */ var slideimages=new Array() var slidelinks=new Array() function slideshowimages(){ for (i=0;i<slideshowimages.arguments.length;i++){ slideimages[i]=new Image() slideimages[i].src=slideshowimages.arguments[i] } } function slideshowlinks(){ for (i=0;i<slideshowlinks.arguments.length;i++) slidelinks[i]=slideshowlinks.arguments[i] } function gotoshow(){ if (!window.winslide||winslide.closed) winslide=window.open(slidelinks[whichlink]) else winslide.location=slidelinks[whichlink] winslide.focus() } //--> </script> and here's the Body code: Code: <script> <!-- //configure the paths of the images, plus corresponding target links slideshowimages("images/services/3d_meter.jpg", "images/services/3d_prototype.jpg", "images/services/3d_stage_renderings.jpg", "images/services/atsite.jpg", "images/services/netstar.jpg", "images/services/photo_manipulation.jpg", "images/services/powerpoint.jpg") slideshowlinks("/", "/", "/", "/", "/", "/", "/") //configure the speed of the slideshow, in miliseconds var slideshowspeed=8000 var whichlink=0 var whichimage=0 function slideit(){ if (!document.images) return document.images.slide.src=slideimages[whichimage].src whichlink=whichimage if (whichimage<slideimages.length-1) whichimage++ else whichimage=0 setTimeout("slideit()",slideshowspeed) } slideit() //--> </script> fooling around with it, I think I have determined that my problem is the window.open in the function gotoshow, but again, I'm a designer who has little knowledge of how this actually works. If it helps, here is a link to my site where I have the slideshow, http://gravescreativedesign.com/services.html All of the images link to the index page for my site at the moment for testing purposes, but these images will eventually link to different urls within my portfolio section of my website. Hi guys, i hope u can help me. This is the link(and i have a function called check_group): Code: <a href="javascript:viod(0)" onclick="check_group('<?php echo $codart ?>','<?php echo $codfam ?>')"><?php echo $gname?></a> I have a function called check group. I want to open that link in a new window. Thanks. I am making a website where when the user clicks on a hyperlink in a list, a new browser window opens and displays a file called "faqs.html". The code for my function so far is: Code: function ValidateWebDetails { window.open("faqs.html") } To test whether the function actually worked, I first attached it to a button with this code: Code: <form method="post"> <input type="button" value="Go To FAQS" onClick="ValidateWebDetails()" </form> However, when I went to test the button, when I clicked on it, no new window was displayed and I was wondering what I could do to fix the problem. Any help is appreciated! window.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> Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and this is probably really easy but it just won't work! I've tried looking at various online sources but they are all either too technical or don't seem to work. I'm obviously doing something wrong!

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() { ... } Hello all, and thank you for your coments, I want to preserve a 16/9 aspect ratio to the window after any resize, making the width a function of the height. As I have a window.resizeTo() inside the window.onresize event function, the infinite loop is served. How may I quit it? Code: <html><head><title>Title</title><script languaje="javascript"> const c_ra=16/9; window.onresize = function WindowReSize() { var myWidth = 0, myHeight = 0; if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) { //Non-IE // myWidth = window.innerWidth; myHeight = window.innerHeight; } else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) { //IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode' // myWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth; myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight; } myWidth = Math.floor(myHeight*c_ra); window.resizeTo(myWidth,myHeight); // ** CAUTION resize event in a onresize event handler ! }; </script></head><body><p>Hello World</p></body></html> Disclaimer 1: I am not a programmer, just a curious designer, so please take that into consideration in your replies. Disclaimer 2: Despite all advices against it, I couldn't find a better solution to my website than using iFrame Disclaimer 3: Before asking for help, I researched *several* forums and although I found people discussing similar issues, I was not successful at adapting their solutions to my needs. Gentlemen, I need your help implementing a method to intercept and redirect external links to a dynamic iframe. By "dynamic" iframe I mean an iframe whose SRC would be filled up in accordance to the external URL being intercepted and that it would resize its HEIGHT accordingly in order to avoid scroll bars. The function for resizing the iframe id="child" is already correctly implemented like so: Code: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function calcHeight() { //find the height of the internal page var the_height= document.getElementById('child').contentWindow. document.body.scrollHeight; //change the height of the iframe document.getElementById('child').height= the_height; } //--> </script> and the call Code: <iframe src="/main/index.php" width="100%" onLoad="calcHeight();" height="1" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" id="child"> This what I have going on: - index.html => contains some content and the iframe id="child" - childpage1[...N].php => several PHP pages which I do not want to show up outside of the parent "index.html". These pages use clean URLs from CMS such as "http://mydomain.com/pages/this-is-a-child-page/" Users might click on external links from search engines, for instance, about an specific page such as "http://mydomain.com/pages/this-is-child-page-7/" which obviously would load the page "orphaned", outside "index.html" and that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. Based on what I have researched so far, the best way (please, correct me if I'm wrong) to deal with this would be implementing a test condition on the header of the PHP child pages to verify if they are on "top" or not (if they are already inside the "parent" object "index.html"). If FALSE, the page would load normally, if TRUE, a variable should be created to store the URL of the requested page and passed through the link to the page "index.html" which would be immediately called. In "index.html" there would be a script to collect the variable sent through the link (something like "http://mydomain.com/?var=http://mydomain.com/pages/this-is-child-page-7/") and break the text string apart, store a portion of PATHNAME (in this case, "/pages/this-is-child-page-7/) and use it to replace the current SRC of iframe id="child". Probably, there would have to be another testing function in this script to compare the variable passed from the "orphaned" PHP page against the current value of SRC in iframe id="child" to determine if any action is actually required. This "replacement" function would be called onLoad and if tested true would run and refresh the page with the proper value in the iframe SRC. All this should be accomplished while still making the iframe HEIGHT dynamically adjustable and show a "clean" URL in the browser, such as "http://mydomain.com". The potential issues I foresee is an infinite loop due to two onLoad queries (one for SRC, another for HEIGHT) in the parent and child objects, which might required a merge into a single script. As you can tell, I have an idea of what needs to be done but not a clue on how to get it done. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hi, I have an external JS file with an array of menu links called (menu.js). The code is shown below: Code: <script> var menuItem = new Array(); menuItem[0]="index.html"; menuItem[1]="welcome_home/index.html"; menuItem[2]="key_resources/index.html"; menuItem[3]="deployment_assistance/index.html"; menuItem[4]="benefits/index.html"; menuItem[5]="services/index.html"; menuItem[6]="counties/index.html"; menuItem[7]="transitional_help/index.html"; menuItem[8]="women_vets/index.html"; menuItem[9]="iowa_heroes/index.html"; menuItem[10]="http://www.iowava.org/vetcemetery/"; menuItem[11]="http://ivh.iowa.gov"; menuItem[12]="../forms/index.html"; menuItem[13]="https://va.iowa.gov/reselig/"; menuItem[14]="links2/index.html"; menuItem[15]="Whats_New/index.html"; menuItem[16]="contact_us/index.html"; function Page(which){ location.href = menuItem[which]; } </script> I have called the javascript in my websites main page (index.html), but it does not work. The html code is shown below: Code: <script type ="text/javascript" src="menu.js"></script> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Page(0);">Home</a> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Page(1);">Welcome Home</a> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Page(2);">Key Resources</a> The javascript for the array of menu links works when it is inserted directly within the html file, but when it remains external and is called in index.html it does not work. I am not sure why this is the case. Could anyone give some pointers? Thanks, -Mike I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code: Code: checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM' onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY' onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>") |
