JavaScript - Slideshow: How To Open Image's Link In Same Window (and Not New One)

I have a php page which uses the following javascript code to open another page (The users profile page) and alos carry over the userID (dUid)

Code:

var userProfileUrl = chatProfileUrl+dUid.replace(/_/gi,"");		

		document.getElementById('userdetails').innerHTML += "<span class='userinfo' onClick=\"window.open('"+userProfileUrl+"','"+dUid+"')\"><img id='profile' style='cursor:pointer;vertical-align:middle;padding-top:4px;' src=images/zoom.png> View Profile</span></br>";

I wanted to add to the menu another image link so I copied the same coding, but I do not know where to place the URL target that I want opened. I know I want the userID (dUid) also to follow this link as well. If I want the coding below to act in the same manner as the coding above, but instead open a page called /gift.php, where do I set the Url?

Code:

document.getElementById('userdetails').innerHTML += "<span class='userinfo' onClick=\"window.open('"+userProfileUrl+"','"+dUid+"')\"><img id='profile' style='cursor:pointer;vertical-align:middle;padding-top:4px;' src=images/gift.png> Send Gift</span></br>";

I have a map with hotspots, and when you hover over a hot spot, a hidden DIV appears. Thanks to my favorite coding forum, this one, I was able to successfully accomplish this first bit of code. The only problem I'm having now is getting the DIV to remain open while I move my mouse from the hotspot to the DIV. As soon as I move my mouse away from the hotspot, the DIV disappears. I need to put links in the DIVs, and users will need to be able to move their mouse away from the hotspot to click on the link, but currently can't.

I experimented with setTimeout, but didn't get too far. If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it. I really need to get this working.

Code:

<img src="images/map.png" alt="" usemap="#map"/>
			
<map id="map" name="map">
<area shape="rect" coords="211,84,225,97" href="#" alt=""/>
<area shape="rect" coords="226,78,240,92" href="#" alt=""/>
<area shape="rect" coords="353,66,376,89" href="#" alt=""/>
</map>

<div id="hidden">
	<div class="location" style="left:25px; top:-290px;">
		<img src="images/location01.jpg" alt=""/>
	</div>
				
	<div class="location" style="left:25px; top:-275px;">				
		<img src="images/location02.jpg" alt=""/>
	</div>

	<div class="location" style="left:275px; top:-285px;">
		<img src="images/location03.jpg" alt=""/>
	</div>
</div> <!-- #hidden -->

Code:

function show(which) {
	var area = document.getElementById("map").getElementsByTagName("area");
	var locations = document.getElementById("hidden").getElementsByTagName("div");

	for (var a=0; a < area.length; ++a) {
		if(area[a] == which) locations[a].style.display="block";
		}
	}
					
function hide() {
	var locations = document.getElementById("hidden").getElementsByTagName("div");

	for (var d=0; d < locations.length; ++d) {
		locations[d].style.display="none";
		}
	}
					
function init() {
	var area = document.getElementById("map").getElementsByTagName("area");

	for (var a=0; a < area.length; ++a) {
		area[a].onmouseover = function() { show(this); }
		area[a].onmouseout = hide;
		}
	}

window.onload = init;

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

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 played around with setTimeout but can't get it to work.)

PHP Code:
<a href='http://www.".$new[9]."' 
onclick="window.open('http://www.".$new[0]."/');
window.open('http://www.".$new[1]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[2]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[3]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[4]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[5]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[6]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[7]."/'); 
window.open('http://www.".$new[8]."/')\" target='new300/'>Open 10</a>

Can somebody help me with the code to make this button work? In the parent window when 2 is input in the text box and 'OK' button clicked, the second window opens with 2 text box and 'SUBMIT' button. If 'SUBMIT' button is clicked in the child window i want it to open the third window. Please help me out. Thanks. God bless in Jesus name.
*ADDED* Though i am advised to add 'window .open' as one of the arguments to the OK button which i did yet it doesn't work somebody please help me out! 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()
{
...
}

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

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!

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?

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 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
