if you read the tutorials I have linked on my page...

You would have the answer to that question, sir!

The variables that go to the standard function, window.open, are as follows:

url -- 'html/page.html'
name of new window -- 'net'
properties of new window -- 'width=xxx,height=xxx'

There can be NO spaces between the commas within the properties section, but there can be spaces around the equal sign. Usually. I will have to check for Netscape 6.

For the others that aren't working, you will need to troubleshoot the following things:

1. Spaces in the JavaScript -- making sure there aren't any is usually the safest unless you really know what you are doing, but sometimes different browsers screw you up anyway.

2. Make sure the is in place. Netscape 6 apparently wants there to be nothing in that tag.

3. Validate your HTML -- I use http://www.htmlvalidator.com pro, but you can use the free validation service at http://www.w3c.org with the same results.

4. Post the url to the page and let us walk through it and troubleshoot for you.

Hey,

I don't think it works in 4.5 either.

On this coding in html:

Five OC3s (155Mbs each)

Do you have to use 'email' in there where "NET" is? Why? And how come that one works but nothing else?

Thanks
Curtis

thanks, Curtis...

It works in Netscape 4.7, not in Netscape 6, apparently. JavaScript used to allow spaces around the equals sign, but if it works without spaces, I'll remove them so it works in everything, thanks!

And glad it's working for you.

No Go

That doesn't work in Netscape 3.0 and up. The link isn't clickable.

then use this:

TEST

2 benefits:
1) don't need anything else in the header
2) I like it better

Found The Problem

oooooh, I found the problem.

Regarding Netscape browsers:

TEST

DOESN'T WORK.

whatever you call the link

DOES WORK. The spaces between the = and the features screws it up.

Hmmmm, you might want to know this Suzanne. You also might want to notify the client you referred me to, they have it messed up too!

Problem

Curtis Stevens — Thu, 16 Nov 2000 05:03:12 +0000

Neither one of these java scripts work in Netscape 3.0 or up.

Grrrrr.

the 'email' is built in.
window.open() is a standard JavaScript function. You just pass it the URL of the page to open, the name of the window, and any properties the window should have.

If you don't want your current window to go anywhere use this:

<a nohref style="cursor: hand" onClick="window.open('test.html', 'email', 'width = 425,height = 400,scrollbars = yes')">whatever you call the link</a>

'
If you use this code, you don't need the stuff in the header.

Cool

Hey,

Thanks for all of your help, you are so helpful!!!!

Few questions.

On this: type="text/javascript" where is this? Is this just standard on all browsers and is in the customer's folders where their browser is stored at???

Is there a lot of ways to use Java Scripts to make pop up windows? Is this the most common way that works with all browsers, such as AOL, etc.. This one is so much easier!

So is this all I need?

In the header:

</script>

In the html coding:

whatever you call the link

Is that all I need or is their some scripting missing? It works on my IE 5.0 browser.

This is so cool, MUCH easier.

Last question. The 'email' in the above coding in the html place, why is that their? Don't I need some scripting to tell the browser that name "email" is associated with that html document. How does it know, and how does it work?

Thanks!!!!

Curtis

okay, here's the deal.... :)

What you ideally want is the function in the tags:

(from my page linked above):

</script>

And in the HTML, you would have this for each link:

whatever you call the link

Subsequent links would look like this:

whatever you call the link

If you change the name of the new window ('email' currently) you will have a bunch of new windows. If you leave it the same, you will have all the files opening in a new window.

http://www.netmarketing.org/about.htm -- check out the committee members, lower right of the page. One new window for all board members, and the committee members are all on one page and open to the target. One function.

I'm sorry the other one didn't work, I didn't think about the function you had not having the cancellation of the link. The function above will kill the href if JavaScript is enabled, otherwise if no JavaScript, people still get the page.
