Hi Mike,

Glad you're interested Unfortunately, lately the aol server is not among the best. If I ever get some money up, I'll put up my own server; but till then...if it happens again, hit reload/refresh -- it usually comes up on the second try.

It was a controlled environment, and it worked great!
By the way GrassBlade: cut&paste javascript is unavailable.

Thanks,

Vincent, Jack,

Thanks guys! It works!

I changed the name variable. I guess I should learn javascript. Much to the chagrin of Peter J. Boettcher I have been using vbscript for all my client side stuff.

Thanks!

By the way guys the time is wrong on this post. It says 3:40 P.M. and it should be 9:40 A.M. I think there might be a problem with the timestamp.

Hi Mike,

You still have the same 'myname' variable; it needs to be different.

win = window.open(mypage, myname, winprops)
'name','600','525','no');return false;">Pop up Window 2

'name2','600','525','no');return false;">Pop up Window 2

also, it would be better if you gave the windowHandles different values:

win1 = window.open.....in page1
win2 = window.open.....in page2

renaming the function itself is immaterial since javascript will always assume you are referring to the focused window, unless specifically told something else. That is:
NewWindow() & opener.NewWindow() & win.NewWindow() are distinct references.

Here are three test pages:

TestPopup.htm:

Pop up Window 1

_________________________________________________________

TestPopUp1.htm:

Pop up Window 2

____________________________________________________________

TestPopUp2.htm

We made it!!!

_______________________________________________________

This opens a new window with a link saying open popup
but it just loads the new page in the existing popup.

Thanks!!!

Can you please tell me how you call the function on both pages?

Jack Congratulations on your number of posts !!!

However I think you will get the opportunity to post another one.

When I run this script it just loads the new page in the existing pop-up window.

I have modified the script within the pop up, the function has been renamed and the sizes are different.

Thanks,

Mike

Hey Mike,

Be sure to have different values for 'myname' on both pages.

Besides that: when both windows have the same width and height it may look like the new page is loaded in the existing popup because your popup script centers the window . In fact, the new window is placed in top of the old one... sounds stupid, but when I tested your script it fooled me that way for a moment

Hope it helps,
