The confirm box pops up, but a the URL never changes when I click OK. I have no clue what's going wrong here. I'm using Google Chrome to test this out if that helps. Also does not work in Firefox. What are the differences between results of these two. Code: window.location.hostname or Code: document.location.hostname 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 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. 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? 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 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. 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... --paul 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 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. 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! Hi, I'm using the following Javascript code to show a div layer depending on the URL Code: <script type="text/javascript"> if (location.href.match(/folder/)) { document.getElementById("div-layer").style.display="block"; } </script> This works perfectly when I visit http://www.domain.com/folder but I do not want it to match any subfolders beneath /folder, for example: http://www.domain.com/folder/sub-folder http://www.domain.com/folder/sub-folder2 etc. Does anyone know how I can modify the code to only match /folder or /folder/ and no subfolders beneath it? Thank you in advance. i have this code i need to close the parent.html window when the child window opened, i need the code for that working well in IE and Firefox Parent.html <HTML> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> function sendTo() { window.open('child.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+''); } </SCRIPT> <BODY > <form name="form"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails1"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails2"> </br> <input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="sendTo()"> </BODY> </HTML> child.html <html> <body> <form> <input type=text name="text5" value=""> <input type=submit name="submit"value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> 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.

Thanks for helping Here is the program: http://www.1728.com/newwindow.htm Basically, I want to input a number in the input box, which assigns a number to the variable numval located at document.box1.b1. When clicking on the "new window" button, an alert displays the input box value, then another window opens and displays the integers 1 through 12 and the amount squared. I would like the new window to obtain the number from the previous window so that the new window will display integers (and their squares) from 1 to the value of numval. 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>") |
