JavaScript - Posting Data With Window.open
I'm not a programmer and I understand very little of it. I have an application with a button that opens up another website. That website requires credentials. I'm currently using window.open to get the url open and passing a variable to the end of the URL, but when I have searched for a good way to get the credentials passed by using post and can't seem to find a solution. I tried xmlhttprequest, but the limitation of cross-domains is huge because I will have external clients connecting to the database and don't think that asking them to lower the security settings in IE would be a good way to do it. All I need is the ability to click on the button, pass the username and password and have the url open to desired page. I posted the code of the application in another thread, but all I'm getting are just views. Please help. thanks.

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.

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() { ... } I am currently creating which will allow the user to upload their own pictures. For this I am opening a new pop up window where the user can select the file they wish and then upload it (similar to ebay's picture upload). The pop up works fine and so does the file upload however I am having trouble transferring any data from the pop up window back to the parent window. I have been investigating the opener method but cannot seem to get it to work. Below is some simple code that I've been trying to get to work... Thanks for any help! first page... Code: <form name="loadpic" id="loadpic" action="createPost.php" method="post"> <br /> <br /> Testing transfer between pages... <input type="button" value="open pop up" onclick="window.open('popup.php','pop up box','width=400,height=200')" /> <br /> <br /> <span name="myspan" id="myspan">text here</span> </form> pop up page... Code: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Pop Up</title> <script language=javascript> function transfer(){ opener.document.loadpic.myspan.innerHTML = "working"; window.close(); } </script> </head> <body> This is the pop-up page! <input type="button" onclick="return transfer()" value="press me" /> </body> [help] i have the big problem,,, how script to make data to new window (after that, output can print) n data from previous window with datatables (datatables.net) and with default header n footer in new window??? case: [datatable] i search with datatable and have 3 record... and show in new window with default header n footer company , and in new window have function to print the record with header and footer. I hope, anybody can help me..Please thank you Hi I'm new here and need some help; I spent so long with this and need either a miracle or a javascript expert! I have the code below which is used to open up a chat window, the problem is all browser treat this as a pop up and block it! What could be changed to get round this? $chat = "window.open( '" . SK_Navigation::href("private_chat", array("userKey"=>$pr_key, "oppUserKey"=>$opp_key, 'is_esd_session'=>1 )) . "', '', 'height=540,width=415,left=100,top=100,scrollbars=no,resizable=no' );"; Thanks dr when a user click on a link, it would open a new window in HTML it is something like this: Code: <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">click here</a> How do I do this in Javascript? So a user would click on the link and it would open a new window. Here's my code Code: document.writeln('<tr><td>' + "http://google.com" + '</td></tr>'); I know window.open(url) would open a new window, but how do I make it clickable?? Any comments or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. thanks 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. 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 found this bookmarklet which I'm using in Firefox. Would anyone here be willing to modify it to display its results in a new tab, instead of using the current tab? Thanks in advance. Code: javascript:q=""+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection? document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text);if(!q) q=prompt("Search terms [leave selection and box blank to list all pages] ...").replace(/\s\+/g,"%252B");if(q!=null)location="http://www.google.com /search?q="+q.replace(/\s+/g,"+")+"+site:"+location.hostname;void(0); 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! 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.

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.
I have a PARENT HTML page. Within it, there is an iFrame. Let us call page inside of iFrame is CHILD. I would like to following things: 1. When click button in CHILD, A NEW full size page opens and mouse focus moves to NEW. I used following scripts: function openFullWin(urlPara) { var windowFeatures = 'menubar=1,modal=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,toolbar=1,width=' + screen.availWidth + ',height=' + screen.availHeight + ',left=0,top=0'; var winNew = window.open(urlPara, '', windowFeatures); winNew.focus(); this.blur(); } In Firefox, if only PARENT widow there. It works property. However, if there is another window there, the focus moved to that window rather than the NEW. In IE, if there is another window there, the NEW open as a tab in that window, rather than as tab in PARENT. 2. When click button in CHILD, A NEW full size page opens and mouse focus moves to NEW. At meantime, the CHILD changes to a NEWCHILD page, but not on focus. I am never being able to do this. Please help. 3. When click button in CHILD, A NEW full size page opens to replace PARENT. Of course, the CHILD disappeared too. I am never being able to do this. Please help. Can anyone tell y the below code is not working in ie7 and ie8. working fine in ie6 window opened and gets closed immediately Very Urgent: <script language="javascript"> var perlwin; perlwin=window.open("' || Hse_Constants.strFileDownloadURL || 'download.pl?strSearchSeqID_=' || numSearchSEQ || '","tinywin","resizable=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=1,width=775,height=500"); function closeWin() { timer = setTimeout("checkForOpener()", 10000); } function checkForOpener(){ try{ var myVar=window.opener.document; timer = setTimeout("checkForOpener()", 10000); }catch(e){ perlwin.close(); } } closeWin();</script>' I having trouble with this code, I have this timer running in a js file if the timer runs out then an alert box pops up letting the user know that they have been logged out. There is also a pop-up window and if the user press down on the key board then the timer resets. I have already done this in my test files, What I am trying to do is apply it to this other code and its a bit tricky. Below you will find my test code. test1.php PHP Code: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> var test2 function popup() { test2=window.open( "test2.php", "myWindow", "status = 1, height = 300, width = 300, resizable = 0" ) } </script> </head> <body> <?php echo '<a href="#" onclick="popup()" >Click Here</a>'; echo '<embed src="logout_operator.wav" autostart="false" id="logout" width="0" height="1" loop="false">'; echo '<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="test.js"></script>'; echo '<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function timeout(logoutSound) { var soundLogout=document.getElementById(logoutSound); soundLogout.Play(); alert("Your session is expired please login again"); location = "http://www.google.com"; } </script>'; ?> </body> </html> test2.php (pop-up window) PHP Code: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="test.js"></script> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> window.onkeydown = handle; function handle() { resetTimer(); return true; } </script> </body> </html> test.js Code: var timer = setTimeout("timeout('logout')", 5000); function resetTimer(d) { clearTimeout(timer); if (d!="done"){ if (location.href.indexOf("test2.php")!=-1){ window.opener.window.resetTimer("done"); } else{ test2.window.resetTimer("done"); } } timer = setTimeout("timeout('logout')", 5000); } What I am trying to do is apply the function and the button to this code: Code: var _h = { mi: function (link, title, ni, qi, width, height, ri) { return '<a href="' + link + '"' + (ri != null ?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!! |
