PHP Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function openlink(url) { window.open(url); return false; } </script> <div class="btn" onclick="openlink()">Open Link</div> Similar TutorialsHi All, I need to show/focus the parent window which is in back when click a link from child window in Chrome.This problem is in Chrome browser only. We have used the below code self.blur(); Window.opener.focus(); But this is not working in Google Chrome. Please suggest me some workaround to achieve this.

Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,311 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts Window is not defined. window is. JavaScript (and the DOM) is case sensitive. You must pay attention to upper/lower case spelling, carefully. By the way, you shouldn't need the blur() call. If you focus on some window (any window) then any other focus should be lost. After open a child window, I would like to keep parent window on focus. I tried self.focus(), set new window in blur() as well as setting the setInterval, none of them works in either Firefox or IE. I think this question relates to the opening window in tab rather than in new window. Actually, in Firefox, it was opened in tab and in IE it was opened in new window. I have an Iframe in my webpage wher I have the focus. I now want to give the focus back to the parent document, so i've used top.focus() in my code. Works fine in almost every browser but not inIE7. Any hints? i have this code i need to close the parent.html window when the child window opened, i need the code for that working well in IE and Firefox Parent.html <HTML> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> function sendTo() { window.open('child.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+''); } </SCRIPT> <BODY > <form name="form"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails1"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails2"> </br> <input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="sendTo()"> </BODY> </HTML> child.html <html> <body> <form> <input type=text name="text5" value=""> <input type=submit name="submit"value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> 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>")
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 Hi, I am creating a new child air window called "test.html" as follow. How can I call a javascript function in parent window from child window? function createMyWindow() { var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions(); options.type = air.NativeWindowType.LIGHTWEIGHT; options.systemChrome = air.NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE; options.transparent = true; mywindow = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, options, false); mywindow.load(new air.URLRequest("test.html")); .... } Thanks, ASM For a parent window opened a child window, how can the parnet window be notified when the child window is closed or terminated? Thank you. Hi, I have parent page with 10 child window and i want to close all child window when click on close session button on parent but first i need to check whether any child window open or not after that action should be done for close the child window. 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" />

Hi, Can someone direct me to what do i need to get something like this going: When a user clicks on a button to focus a windows program thats already running Thanks function MyPopUpWin(message) { var iMyWidth; var iMyHeight; //half the screen width minus half the new window width (plus 5 pixel borders). iMyWidth = (window.screen.width/2) - (75 + 10); //half the screen height minus half the new window height (plus title and status bars). iMyHeight = (window.screen.height/2) - (100 + 50); //Open the window. var generator = window.open(); generator.focus(); document.onmousedown = focusPopup; document.onkeyup = focusPopup; document.onmousemove = focusPopup; generator.document.write('<html><head><title>Pop uP</title>'); generator.document.write('<p style="color:#C52B27;">'); generator.document.write(message); generator.document.write('</p>'); generator.document.write('</head><body>'); generator.document.write('<a href="javascript:self.close()"><img src="/img/save_orange.gif" border=0"> <\/a>'); generator.document.write('</body></html>'); generator.document.close(); } function focusPopup(){ if(generator && !generator.closed) { generator.focus(); } } I have a web page which lists and displays all the characters for which a Named Entity code exists, with coding details etc.. Some of these characters are quite obscure and the reader will only be able to see them if they have a suitable Unicode font on their own PC/browser. If not, they will just see placeholder squares. For these obscure characters, I've set up a popup window. Click on a placeholder square and a small window appears which shows a .gif of what the character should look like, and a label saying what it's called. If the user closes the window after viewing, there's no problem. The difficulty comes in if somebody wants to click on a succession of placeholders and view a succession of character .gifs, and meanwhile the initial child window has slipped to the back of the stack and is behind the webpage instead of in front. In IE, Netscape and Safari, it's easy - I just use .focus to bring the child window to the fore. In Chrome, which doesn't recognise the .focus command, I close the child window and re-open it. [There's code further up the document which identifies the browser.] However, neither .focus nor closing and re-opening the window works with Opera, which turns the child window into a tab rather than a separate window, and then shoves that tab to the back. Anybody know how I can get Opera to either move the focus to the child-tab on command, or close it on command so it can be re-opened? This is the code that generates the child window: Code:
function charDisplayer()
{
if (isIEorInnerGroup == "Yes") {codeWidth = windowWidth*.171, codeHeight = windowWidth*.239, codeInset = windowWidth*.041} else {adjust(200), codeWidth = adjust_by, adjust(280), codeHeight = adjust_by, adjust(48), codeInset = adjust_by}
if (isChrome == "Yes") {
if (window.generator) {
window.generator.close();
window.generator= null;
}
}
window.generator=window.open('', 'charwindow', 'height='+codeHeight+', width='+codeWidth+', left='+codeInset+', top='+codeInset*2+', scrollbars=yes');
window.generator.document.write('<html><head><title>Character sample</title>');
window.generator.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="'+styleType+'">');
window.generator.document.write('</head><body>');
window.generator.document.write('<p style="text-align: center;"><div class=centred><table class=centred><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div class=centred><img src="artwork/font_characters/'+charID+'.gif" border=3 alt="'+charName+'" align=bottom border=0 width='+charWidth+'></div>'+charName+'</td></tr></table></div>');
window.generator.document.write('<hr /><a href="javascript:self.close()">Close</a> the popup if you have finished viewing characters.</p>');
window.generator.document.write('</body></html>');
window.generator.document.close();
if (window.focus) {window.generator.focus()}
}
Ignore the line which begins if (isIEorInnerGroup == "Yes") - this is part of a setup which resizes all art, tables etc to maintain a constant size across all browsers and screen resolutions. "stylesheet" is passed as a variable because I have two different stylesheets on the go, to accommodate the fact that Netscape handles text-size differently from the other browsers. There's a function elsewhere which sets the value of stylesheet according to whether the browser is Netscape or not, and whether the platform is a Mac or not. "charID" is a variable which identifies the code name of the character (taken from the Named Entity code) and looks it up under that name in a list of .gifs. "charName" is a variable which passes a text-string saying what the character is called, e.g. "Not a subset of". There is an "isOpera" variable which can be used to start a specific action if the browser is Opera. I have an application I'm working on and here is what I'm trying to do: I want users to work from a main application. Certain things will need to be done but the users wont want to see the main screen go away while doing these certain things. So my idea is to just open a new window with the content they need, they'll make their changes, the new window will close but then I want the main page to reload. What I've done now is at the end of the script that will be run prior to the new window closing is added this (its a php app): Code: echo "<script>window.close();</script>"; echo "<script>window.opener.location.reload(true);</script>"; Sometimes this works in IE and Firefox but never in Chrome. I know I've seen this done before on other sites, but I cant think of what they are. Can anyone tell me a reliable way that works in all browsers? Hey there everybody! I'm learning javascript, and I am having trouble figuring out how to do this. Maybe you guys can help me out. What I need is for my main page to have a text field. Above the text field there should be a set of images for bold, italics, underline, etc; when you click on them it inserts the html code <b></b> at the cursor point. Next I want there to be a link, that when clicked will open a popup box with smileys. When you click on one of the smiley images it should insert the smiley code (example :smile: ) into the parent window text field. And would it be possible to make that work with pages of emotes? Or perhaps a second popup window? I hope I explained that without it sounding confusing. I would really appreciate any help. Here is my basic code, it does not include a popup code however. Code: <html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function insert(el,ins) {
window.lstText={};
if (el.setSelectionRange){
el.value = el.value.substring(0,el.selectionStart) + ins + el.value.substring(el.selectionStart,el.selectionEnd) + el.value.substring(el.selectionEnd,el.value.length);
}
else if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange) {
el.focus();
var range = document.selection.createRange();
range.text = ins + range.text;
}
}
</script>
<body>
<form>
<textarea rows="20" cols="100" name="txt1" onfocus="window.lstText=this;">
This is sample text, click anywhere in here then
choose on of the buttons above to see text inserted.
</textarea><br /><br />
<img src="http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/vwcorrado/Docs_smiley.jpg" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'hello')">
<input type="button" value="hi" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'hi')">
<br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
I'm trying to accessing the Parent window fom a sub window previously opened using window.open I'm using firebug to t yand debug, and it shows that this DOM entry exists.. window.opener.location.href But trying to access it gives "window opener is null" error I've tried all these, and get the various errors tagged on the end... Code: <script language="JavaScript"> //alert(opener.location); // = opener is null //alert(opener.location.href); // = opener is null //alert(parent.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 //alert(parent.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.opener.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 //alert(parent.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.window.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(parent.window.opener.location.href); // = Permission denied to get property Location.href //alert(window.opener.location); // = window opener is null //alert(window.opener.location.href); // = window opener is null //alert(window.parent.location); // = uncaught exeption - could not convert to javascript argument arg 0 </script> driving me crazy! Anyone have a solution? Hi! I have a script that opens up another window and a task gets executed, all of that is fine, but is there anyway that the parent window (the window that gets open) can pass data to the window that opened it? (I pretty much want to enable a button on that page) Thanks... - Matt I'm trying to automatically resize a child frame so that there are no scrollbars. This script works great in IE (yea, un****** believable) but not firefox, do you have any idea why? PARENT PAGE Code: <html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function SetIFrameSize(strIFrameID,intH,intW) {
if ( document.getElementById(strIFrameID) != null )
{
document.getElementById(strIFrameID).style.height = intH
document.getElementById(strIFrameID).style.width = intW
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="frmData" src="iframePage.htm" height="200" frameBorder="0"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
FRAMED PAGE Code: <html>
<head>
<script id="clientEventHandlersJS" language="javascript">
function GetMySize()
{
w = window.document.body.scrollWidth + 40;
h = window.document.body.scrollHeight + 15;
window.parent.SetIFrameSize("frmData",h,w);
}
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="red" onload="GetMySize();">
long page
</body>
</html>
Alright I have an Iframe, and at the end of that Iframe I have set a variable with JS to be equal to TRUE, indicating that the page has run through the script. I then check that the iframe from the parent window for that variable, if it has not been set yet (or does not equal true) it reloads the iframe. The code works fine FF and Opera. However in IE it does not reload the frame if it is not true, and in Chrome it alerts undefined and does not reload the frame. I have tried accessing the frame through the dom and it did not work for me, and i have also tried simply adding a tail to the iframes source with no success. PHP Code: <iframe name="ifrOne" src="iframe.htm" id="ifrOne"></iframe> <script type="text/javascript"> function frameLoad() { var testOne = window.ifrOne.test_var; if(testOne !== "TRUE") { alert(testOne); document.getElementById('ifrOne').contentDocument.location.reload(true); window.frames['ifrOne'].location.reload(true); } } </script> |
