JavaScript - Would Like Help With Getting A Window.open Function To Work!
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! Similar TutorialsHi Friends, I am really tired with Chrome , one of my window.open() Stuff work fine in FF and Opera in Fedora O.S. But Chrome Did not , my code is like: <script type="text/javascript"> function getpage(id, type){ $.ajax({ type: "POST", data: "key="+id, async: false, url: "<?php echo site_url(); ?>/server/precp/"+type, success: function (msg) { window.open("<?php echo site_url(); ?>/server/cplogin/"+msg, "autologin"); } }); } </script> and it call in another JavaScript function like: function doKeyup(id,e) { if(e == 13) { //alert("e:"+e); var cp = $("table#serverdata tbody tr#container_tr.row_no td:nth-child(7) a#cp").html(); var dc = $("table#serverdata tbody tr#container_tr.row_no td:nth-child(7) a#dc").html(); if(cp != null || dc != null ) { var firstId = $("table#serverdata tbody tr#container_tr.row_no td:nth-child(1) input[type=checkbox]").val(); } if(cp != null) { alert("Enter here"); getpage(firstId,'cp'); return false; } and it firstly call from onkeyup as : <input type="text" name="find_text0" id="find_text0" autocomplete="off" <?php if ('B' == $sb_pos) { ?> onfocus="document.getElementById('find_text1').value='';" <?php } ?> onkeyup = "return doKeyup('0',event.keyCode);" /> Please Give me a Solution ASAP. Thankfully Anes The photo html files on the Fanac Fan History project's website are setup to be displayed properly when JavaScript is disabled and reformatted by a php script when JavaScript is enabled. The reformatting adds some features and positions each photo's caption and credits based on the width of the photo and the browser's page width. This worked well except that, when a photo page was accessed the browser's back button wouldn't work properly. This was because I had failed to include the replace option in my windows.open statement. The statement now reads fileWindow = window.open(fileURL, "_self", "", true); and this has cured the problem with IE but it still doesn't work with FireFox. Oddly enough it worked correctly with Google's Chrome with/without the replace and with Opera and Safari it also sort of worked without the replace. With replace Opera works correctly but Safari stll needs a double click. Any suggestions? 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 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? I don't get to use javascript as much as I would like, but I am having a problem with a page so I stripped out all the extras and got down to just the part I am having a problem with and I think this should fill the div with the id testingdiv when the page loads but it doesn't. Any help would be appreciated. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function getClientList(listtype) { document.getElementById('testingdiv').innerHTML = listtype; } window.onload = getClientList('own'); </script> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <input type="hidden" name="hidden" id="hidden" value="99" /> <title>untitled</title> </head> <body> <div id="testingdiv"></div> </body> </html> 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 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> After following the instructions from the answer below: http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/an...arent-document I was able to have the child window perform the function defined in the parent window. The function was to only have an alert window pop up as the child page was loading. I easily modified this to my intention which was to have a parent function performed when the child window was clicked. Using the body tag: Code: <body onclick="parent.FUNCTION NAME HERE()"> I first change the method in which the function would be triggered, all went well there. then I tried to change which function would be triggered. (Basically use the function I wanted to happen on click of the child window rather then the function from the test). Once I did this switch, nothing happens. The site this is being used on is: http://tylerpanesar.ca/ What I want is when the menu bar is open in the parent window, the user chooses a link and the menu closes and goes to that link in the child window. This already works. However if the user opens the menu bar and then changes there mind and continues with the page the are currently on (clicks any content in the child window), the menu stays open. Currently the menu "hides" only when you choose one of the menu items, but it does not "hide" when you CLICK on child document. If you could figure out how to get it to "hide" on a "mouse out" that would be the better option. I attempted this method however i could only get it to "toggle" the menu on "mouse out". This method does however create an annoying flicker when you hover over the menu items (as it is toggling the open menu command I guess). If I had it "hide" the menu on "mouse out" it would "hide" as soon as you moved off of the main button. The viewer doesn't even have a chance to click a link. or at least that is what happens when I did it. You may have a better method to achieve this. The script that tells it to hide on click is within a jQuery function: Code: menua .click( function(){ menu.hide(); the code I used for the mouseout toggle was: Code: menu .mouseout( function(){ menu.toggle(); Here is the script that I am currently using for the menu to open and the "click" hide feature. This menu feature comes from the following help: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1740-Bu...-FaceBook-.htm Code: <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function( $ ){ var menuRoot = $( "#menu-root" ); var menu = $( "#menu" ); var menua = $( "#menu a" ); // Hook up menu root click event. menuRoot .attr( "href", "javascript:void( 0 )" ) .click( function(){ // Toggle the menu display. menu.toggle(); // Blur the link to remove focus. menuRoot.blur(); // Cancel event (and its bubbling). return( false ); } ) ; menua .click( function(){ // Toggle the menu display. menu.hide(); } ) ; // Hook up a click handler on the document so that // we can hide the menu if it is not the target of // the mouse click. $( document ).click( function( event ){ // Check to see if this came from the menu. if ( menu.is( ":visible" ) && !$( event.target ).closest( "#menu" ).size() ){ // The click came outside the menu, so // close the menu. menu.hide(); } } ); }); </script> I've tried adding the click to "hide" menu feature to the child document but there is now menu in that document for it to "hide". What I was trying to was have the child document execute a function from the parent document and have that function executed IN the parent document. I've tried the technique from the link in my very first post but I believe it only calls the function from the parent and executes it IN the child. Which does not work for me as the menu is not in the child. There should be a way to make the child execute a function FOR the parent. I apologize for this very wordy post, but I am extremely frustrated with this now as I have been trying to get this to work for a few weeks now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tyler 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>") 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. 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! 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 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. What I want to do is to open a new window when you select a hyperlink in the results returned page. Here's the relevant code: Code: // ---------- script properties ---------- var include_num = 1; var bold = 0; // ---------- sites ---------- var s = new Array(); s[0] = "JSE^form.html^Enter JSE in the example above ...^open source, free, client side"; s[1] = "JSE DOCUMENTATION^doc.txt^JSE is a client-side local site search engine.

Can anyone help? 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.
