JavaScript - Why Window.location Doesn't Work In Ff ?

Hi,

I have a requirement of parent and child window.
Onclick of a link on the parent page i am opening a child window with "window.location".
On the child window i am displaying a jsp with the overlap screen on the parent screen using DOJO. After doing all the action on the child page when i am about to close the child window which is having button like cancel,close i am hiding the overlap screen. But my actual concern is when i close the child window, my parent page's scroll bar is scrolling down to the bottom of the page which should not happen and it should be there at the top of the page. How can i acheive this behaviour. Can anyone help me in this.

Thanks in advance

Hello
In phase of my deployment I send the user a window from a servlet and inorder to communicate with an applet already loaded in another window in the browser I thought I could set the window.opener.location="${formbean.property}"; and it partly works, it get set, I see the new window flash, but it then executes that url. Two questions?
1. setting the window.opener.location in an onLoad() should not force a post back to the server, correct? I am just trying to keep that window I want up there and set an internal property so I can access the applet in the other window. Trying to make this "synthetically" a child of that page opened with the applet so I can call the applets methods simply.
2. Is there another way for a new browser window to directly access an applet in another page? I could go the route of making a probe applet and hoping they share the same JVM, (JRE1.6.0.25) access it that way. Is/how that the way to do it?

Can someone tell me how to change the following code so that it will open in a new window? (like target="_blank" in html)

Code:

if (phone_num=="1234")
document.location="http://mysite/formgov/makeadifference.html";

I have searched for hours trying to find a solution and have tried many things, nothing has worked.

The example shown above is just one of many urls that I want to change.

Any help would be appreciated. Maybe this is not possible. I know nothing about javascript.

If you go to: http://ocmd.freehostia.com/tbb/

You'll see that when the user presses enter, it goes to another page. Currently, in the scripts part of my page is this:

Code:

    function checkKey()
    {
        if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
        {
var audioElement = document.createElement('audio');
audioElement.setAttribute('src', 'horse.ogg');
audioElement.play();
window.location = "google.html";
		return false;
        }
    }

Notice how I'm trying to play an audio file? Well, I need for the window.location to go after the audio file plays, or alternatively for it to be played after xx milliseconds. Thank-you.

I guess this is an easy question for all javascripters but I don't know how to manage (I'm pretty fresh with JS). I found two solutions on this forum but it seems that they don't work(?).

I want to delay for few seconds window.location.href="destination_site.html" before it will automatically take visitor to destination site. It has something to do with setTimeout but I would be greatful for posting a fixed code.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys.
I'm currently paying for a web service on a hosted platform. Basically, I'm unable to edit any raw content, however I am able to do things like add JS/HTML to the header or footer of a page, which will in turn be displayed on every page of this platform. My dilemma is, I only want content being showed on a single page of the platform. Specifically, I want a window.alert being displayed on the "/signup" page, but all I have to work with is JS in a global footer.

Is there some way I can use window.location to achieve this?

how can you do

onclick="return getconfirm('do you want to logout?');"
onClick="window.location('logout.asp');"

on the same button , if confirm then go url else stay here ?

thank you

Sorry, this is a newbie question, and probably really dumb, but...

If I create a function that looks like this...

Code:

function recall(tim)
{
   setTimeout("window.location.replace('somepage.html')",tim);
}

...it works fine when called.

However; I want to be able to pass the page url in a variable, something like this...

Code:

function recall(tim, myurl)
{
   setTimeout("window.location.replace(myurl)",tim);
}

...but this creates an error, saying "myurl is not defined."

Even if I simplify the code and place the url in a variable within the function...

Code:

function recall(tim)
{
   var myurl="somepage.html";
   setTimeout("window.location.replace(myurl)",tim);
}

...I still get the "myurl is not defined" error, even tho I am defining it.

Plz can someone explain what I'm doing wrong.

Tkx...

I know next to nothing about javascript and I don't even know if this is possible. I need to target window.location.href to an iframe on a different page.

So, right now, the piece of the code that redirects the browser looks like this:

Code:

window.location.href='http://www.somewhere.com/';

Works great, brings it up in the same browser window. So now I need to modify the code so it goes to a different page and brings that page up in a specified iframe.

I hope this makes sense. I really need help. And if it is not possible, I just need to know to abandon all hope.

EDIT: I SOLVED THIS BY USING "#" instead of "?". Thank you.

Hello.

My goal is to take a user's email from a form, store it in a cookie, and append it to the window location on the following page. I am doing this so that when a user shares the page with "add this widget" the stats will show me who shared the page.

The problem I have is that window.location.replace("?"+ user_email); seems to be sending the browser in an infinite loop. Right now it is running as an inline function in the head. I tried calling the function with body onload and had the same problem.

Code:

<script = "Javascript">
(function readCookie() {

var user_email = unescape(document.cookie);

if (document.cookie)
  {
 window.location.replace("?"+user_email);
  }

})();
</script>

Is there another way I could achieve the same result?

Thank you,
Jack

This is a script which has a window slide down on the page and a user can choose yes/no to continue. It works in all browsers other than IE...any help please? If you need more info, please let me know. Thanks.

I have a few tabs on my website. They're each set to the corresponding id in the JS file. It's supposed to add #tab-1 to the end of the URL in the users browser when it's clicked. For example, when a user is at mypage.com and they click on the tab, it ads mypage.com/#tab-1 to the end. How come it doesn't do what I want when I click it though?

Here's an example of how it's setup.

HTML:

<a href="#tab-1" id="tab1">Text</a>

JavaScript:

document.getElementById("tab1").onclick = function(){
this.href += "#tab-1";
}

Hi!

I'm new to JavaScript and I've done some small adjustments to my clients site, but it won't show properly in IE (the shadowbox js at least.). I thought js was accepted in all newer browsers. Do you have a quick fix or idea on why it doesn't work? You can view source on my site, I use mootools, and shadowbox/corners and rightclick blocker.

Is it generally a 'bad thing' to use js in webpages I want everyone to view in the same way? I tried the same effects with CSS but it's not supported in the same way corss-browser, unfortunately. The 'no selection' CSS class I have on the site is also not accepted in IE. It's very annoying!

Heya,

I wrote the following page in a day or two (please don't mind the layout). Everything seems to work excellent, apart from in Firefox (FF) in which it doesn't seem to work at all. None of the other browsers have any trouble with it.

I'm pretty new to Javascript (everything you see in the source code is pretty much all I know) and I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work in Firefox.

The page in question could be found [link has been removed]. It's all there is to it.

So yeah, how to actually make this work in FF? Thanks a whole bunch in advance! Much appreciated.
