JavaScript - Window.opener.location

Hi there im making a estate agency website for my college assignment and have come across a problem when using windows.location for some reason it is not working

what i want to do is go to a page when searching the right content and then clicking the submit button

so when i type hello for example into the text box i want to get relocated to renting1.html page
but for some reason it is not working i know that the variable is set up right as if i change the content of the if statement to an alert then that works

can anyone spot a problem in my code snipit

<form id="form1" method="post" action="" >

<label>Search House Name:
<input name="Search" type="text" id="Search" size="50" />
</label>

<label>Search
<input type="submit" name="Search2" id="Search2" value="Submit" onclick="testResults()" />
</label>


<script type="text/javascript">
function testResults()
{
var TestVar = form1.Search.value;

if(TestVar=="hello")

window.location = "renting1.html";

else
alert("Invalid");
}

</script>


thanks for any help

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.

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

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?

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.

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

dears,

am trying to redirect user from onchange event to another location in the page.
its work fine in IE but not in firefox :-(

why window.location doesn't work in FF ?

Html:

Code:

<form name="forder">
<select name="bycat" onchange="gocat()">
<option value=1>one</option>
<option value=2>two</option>
<option value=3>three</option>
</select>
</form>

javascript:

Code:

function gocat()
{
 window.location ="index.php?show&cat=" + forder.bycat.options(forder.bycat.selectedIndex).value;
}

any idea????

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

Hi,
I am facing a problem with Mozilla Firefox.
The below line works fine with IE but not with Mozilla Firefox:

top.opener=top.opener.frames['frameName'];

The value of top.opener doesn't change in Firefox.
Can't we change the value of top.opener in Mozilla Firefox?

Thanks & regards,
Raj

Hi, I'm very new to javascript and don't really ask questions in forums because i usually find what I'm looking for in other threads. I have a situation where I open a popup window from what I'll call "the main page", insert some text and open a 2nd popup from there. After making a selection, that window closes to bring the 1st popup back to focus. When I submit the form in that window, some info is changed in a database. How can I refresh or reload the main page to show the changes? Is the "main page" still the opener after opening and closing windows?

Bonjour all. I am trying to activate a function once an iframe is closed. so i am trying to use: window.opener.pageUpdate(); which i get an error of

Error: window.opener is undefined
Source File: https://web111.secure-secure.co.uk/s...js/thickbox.js
Line: 270

Which lead me to believe that my parent window has not got a name so i used
window.name = "main"; in my parent and window.main.pageUpdate(); in the child and get same kind of error. Could someone please help me out!

Hi, my employer found a shell html file with just a script on it as in the title

PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location="/controlPanel"

</script> 


Can anyone tell me what this might be doing? He said he doesnt even remember uploading this file to his site.

I tried googleing the code, but didn't find specifically what it is. I think maybe its a redirect of sorts, but not sure, and definately not sure why we have it or how we have it.

Thanks for any help!
