JavaScript - Open Url In Same Window... Again?
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!

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.

Can anyone help? 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 )) .

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); 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 Hello, I have an asp page to search for data. I like to open it in a new window while retain the search values.
