JavaScript - Javascript Issue: New Browser Window
Dear All,
I have downloaded some code from a javascript programmers website but having trouble making it work! I have some javascript: [CODE] <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function dropdown(mySel) { var myWin, myVal; myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value; if(myVal) { if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target]; else myWin = window; if (! myWin) return true; myWin.location = myVal; } return false; } //--> </SCRIPT> [CODE] Within the main body, my code reads: [CODE] <FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/redirect.pl" METHOD=POST onSubmit="return dropdown(this.gourl)"> <SELECT NAME="gourl"> <OPTION VALUE="">Please select your event... <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.co.uk"> preview yahoo UK</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.com"> preview yahoo US</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.fr"> preview yahoo FR</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.expedia.co.uk"> preview Expedia</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.travelocity.co.uk"> preview Travelocity</option> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.onlinepictureproof.com"> preview online pics</option> </SELECT> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Go"> </FORM> [CODE] On selection of "preview yahoo UK" from drop-down box, it takes me to the correct webpage (www.yahoo.co.uk), so no issue there. However, it opens this page up in a new window. I'm pretty sure this is because the javascript code is telling it to. However, I want the www.yahoo.co.uk page to be displayed in the same window from where the request came from? (i.e. I don't want it to open a new browser window)! What do I have to change in the javascript to make this happen? I tried using the TARGET functionality taught to me many many moons ago, but it still fires up a new window: <OPTION VALUE="http://www.yahoo.co.uk" TARGET="_top"> preview yahoo UK</option> I am testing this on my PC, so perhaps it could be that redirect.pl isn't held locally on my home pc, i.e. it would work once we upload the web pages to the web server?! any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Similar TutorialsHi I am a new bie to Javascript programming. We have a scenario to launch a new browser window for a given HTML.

Our requirement is to have this code to work in any browser? Thanks I have found this Alarm Clock from JavaScript Kit and when the alarm time is reached it redirects to the URL entered. I would like to keep the alarm clock running, have it open a new window for the entered URL such as (Target="Blank") in HTML. Can someone help? var jsalarm={ padfield:function(f){ return (f<10)? "0"+f : f }, showcurrenttime:function(){ var dateobj=new Date() var ct=this.padfield(dateobj.getHours())+":"+this.padfield(dateobj.getMinutes())+":"+this.padfield(dateo bj.getSeconds()) this.ctref.innerHTML=ct this.ctref.setAttribute("title", ct) if (typeof this.hourwake!="undefined"){ //if alarm is set if (this.ctref.title==(this.hourwake+":"+this.minutewake+":"+this.secondwake)){ window.location=document.getElementById("musicloc").value } Hi Guys, I need to amend the below so that if any version of IE is detected it calls window.resizeTo(300,400); otherwise no event or a window.moveTo(0,0); event (either one). Firefox is having problems with resizeto THANKS! <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> if "any version of internet explorer" window.resizeTo(300,400); else window.moveTo(0,0); </SCRIPT> OR <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> if "any version of internet explorer" window.resizeTo(300,400); else "do nothing" </SCRIPT> I'm trying to use SmoothGallery 2.1 on my website as a featured box. I tried opening the demos provided with the code in all browsers to make sure it was compatible and it showed fine in them all. I copied the javascript onto my site and I'm able to show the gallery. However in Chrome and Internet Explorer it shows fine, but Firefox the images are spread vertically down my site and the javascript gallery box doesn't show. I don't understand why this is an issue because it shows fine opening the demo pages and the javascript code and css is a straight copy from the folder :S Can anyone help me out? Website I'm having the issue on is www.deewon.com -Thanks ok, so i am working on a type of Option Box that is heavily formatted with CSS and animated using JS $fx() The $fx framework works fine on all browsers, and i have only used fairly simple code, and yet my page functions perfectly on Chrome and Safari. but will not work in Firefox or IE (Firefox does nothing, and IE has a couple of css issues and doesnt work either...) http://calumk.com/else/blogpoststuff...ng_Option_Box/ if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it. (obviously view in Chrome or safari to see how it is meant to respond) I am looking to have a link open a closeable window that is contained within a browser window. If you click on the "sizing charts" link on this website, this is exactly what I am looking to do: http://www.bella.com/mapper.php?pageid=40 The window is contained within the current browser window, it can be dragged around, but not outside the parameters of the browser window. Is there a title for this technique that I can research? Not looking to waste anybodys time, but if I can get steered in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. 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 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. Greetings, I am currently using the websites tutorial about browser detection using the navigator. http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/navigator.shtml I am however finding myself unable to detect a pattern in order to learn from. My aim is to use Browser detection to have a CSS file for each browser type, such as Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari and then an overall CSS file if none of the above, to fix numerous flaws. For IE and Firefox using the site's code is all well and good and while I haven't tested it yet I'm wondering how to set up the coding so that it can detect a safari browser. There are lots of slashes and d's and brackets and I do find myself unable to understand their purpose. So if someone can explain how I could do it for Safari I would be very appreciative. hey guys im just building a portfolio website for my self and i wanted to create something that could work well across a number of devices and screen sizes. i recently came across this website http://tillwiedeck.com/ and noticed that the menu positions itself according to the size of the browser window. This works really well when viewing it on devices such as ipads and iphones. My question is that does anybody know if there is any way i could make an object always position itself at say 25% of the windows width and another object always position itself at 75% of the windows width. really hope i'm making myself clear. thanks heaps Hi, this will probably make a bit more sense it you read my topic in the HTML section (http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=57093) where I had a problem with two floating divs, in the end the solution was to give both on my floating divs a fixed width. Now, the menu bar div will always be 150 pixels and i wanted the remaing width to be taken up by the main content div. This script here seems to work very wel in firefox but in ie I get scrollbars. This seems to be because firefox returns the actuall width of the viewing 'frame' while IE seems to give the width of the window itself. PHP Code: <script type="text/javascript"> onload = function getBrowserWidth() { if (!document.all) { var width = document.body.offsetWidth; var newWidth = width - 150; document.getElementById('main').style.width = newWidth; } } </script> After a bit of playing with it I found that IE seems to return in offsetWidth about 19 more pixels than the actual size of the viewable 'frame', can anyone confirm this? Now, when the browser window is resized I want the width of the element to be resized as well, which meant I had to add to the body tag <body onresize="getBrowserWidth();"> is there a better way to attach the function to when the window is resized? I am not sure how Opera and Safari return offsetWidth and if they do it like mozilla, or need special values like IE does to make it fit. Thanks for all of your help with any of these 'mini' questions Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to prevent the browser window from scrolling when you are scrolling inside an overflow auto div and reach the end of the div's scroll? Right now I have a few people complaining about a div that loads scrolling info on the screen and when they scroll down using the mouse wheel and get to the bottom of the div then the rolling of the mouse wheel starts scrolling the browser window. It would be nice if the browser could see that your cursor is over the div and even though it reaches the end, not scroll the window unless you move the cursor outside of the div that you are currently scrolling. Any ideas or is this just something we have to deal with? Thanks Hello, First I want to say I have no experience with coding, I develop eLearning via Adobe Captivate. We recently implemented a new LMS from PeopleSoft. This new LMS is launching the eLearning in a small browser window probably 500x400 without the ability to resize this. I am wondering first, if it's possible to edit the htm/js file that Captivate produces, and if anyone is aware of code that could then be entered into the htm/js file to resize the browser upon launch? Thanks! say i have this url in my hand as a string, stored in a variable: http://img.youtube.com/vi/wgGh9RmO5vA/default.jpg i can copy and paste it to my browser manually and see a thumbnail. but how can i automatically open up a browser window and i see the thumbnail? without manually copying and pasting, i want to automaticallly open a broswer window with this string Hi! I need to open a window when: 1 user leaves the site 2 when the browser is closed. I tried the 'unLoad' event but it works only for the user leaves site case and not the browser close. Here is the code I tried: <html> <head> <title>Detecting browser close </title> <script type="text/javascript"> function doUnload() { myWin= open("exit_site.php", "exitWin", "width=50,height=50"); } </script> </head> <body onunload="doUnload()" <h4>Close browser!</h4> </body> </html> Neep your help, please When redirecting a new window, the window should not contain a address bar or the url input text bar. How this can be done. Hi, I am trying to get the Chrome Height of a browser window. I tried window.outerHeight - window.innerHeight but that gives me the height of the chrome plus the status bar. Does anyone know of a way to just get the height of the chrome of a browser window? Or, get the screen coordinates of the inner body of the browser window. Because, then I can subtract those coordinates from screenX and screenY. Thanks for your help. Hi folks, I've got a chat program which relies on a column in a MySQL database to see if he/she has logged out or not. But if you close the browser window, the computer still thinks you're online. I wrote this in the JavaScript section cos I think it would definitely need Javascript. So any help for updating the database in any way? Thanks!! Lucas This is probably stupid on my part so, I apologize in advance. I created a simple script/function that generates a popup window when you click on a link. The function writes the html code for a media player (the URL for which is passed to the function) depending on what link is clicked, and then creates a text link "Close" below the player. I've put the code below... BUT! Here's what's happening. I tested it on both Firefox and Google Chrome. (I could swear it was working on both once upon a time...but now just isn't...) In Chrome, the player is visible but the close link is not. In Firefox, the player is not visible(but you can find where it's at and pause/resume and etc.) The close link is visible. The audio file plays on both browsers. The window is supposed to have a black background, which is does in Firefox but for some reason it's blue in Chrome? (Minor issue..I know...) Quote: function pop(url) { var generator=window.open('','name','height=200,width=400,status=1'); generator.document.write('<html><head><title>Popup</title>'); generator.document.write('</head><body style="color:white;" bgcolor="#000">'); generator.document.write('<object width="300" height="200"><param name="src" value="' + url + '"><param name="autoplay" value="false"><param name="controller" value="true"><param name="bgcolor" value="#CCCCCC"><embed src="' + url + '" autostart="true" loop="false" width="300" height="200" controller="true" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"></embed></object>'); generator.document.write('<p><a style="color:white;" href="javascript:self.close()">Close</a> the popup.</p>'); generator.document.write('</body></html>'); generator.document.close(); } I can give you the URL for the thing so you can see it in action... http://thetabbfamily.com/cdpages/lifeisgood.php Scroll down 'Purchase Individuals' and click on one of the songs... Hello, I have a question what is the best way to identify a browser, browser version and OS in javascript. I have try a few scripts but they all fail. This will help me out formating the code for diferent browsers. Thanks |
