Javascript popup windows Andrew, 020116 17:36
I'm currently using a script to pop up windows that breaks right click and non js browsers:

[code[<a href="javascript:popup('foo.html', 'what_discharge', 500, 450, 'yes')">[/code[

I'd really like to be able to use something like was posted earlier:

<a href="foo.html" onclick="popup('this.href', 'pollution', 500, 450, 'yes')">
 

But this.href isn't working (my script expects a url). I've tried making a few substitutions in my script, and I just can't get it to work the same way. There are several variables I like to store in the script, which is why I'm not just calling window.open from the onclick.

Any suggestions? Here's the script I'm using:

<script type="text/javascript">

    	function popup(url, name, height, width, scrollbars)

    		{

			var popwin;

			var opts = "toolbar=no,status=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no";

			opts += ",height=" + height + ",width=" + width + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars;

	

			popwin = window.open("", name, opts);

	

			popwin.focus();

	

			popwin.location = url;

			

			}

	</script>
 

thanks!

Re: Javascript popup windows milov, 020116 17:53
I noticed one error in your code: you have 'quotes' around this.href, where there shouldn't be any. Also, I'd recommend adding a return false statement to the bottom of your function, to prevent the href from opening twice. The corrected script should look something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function popup(url, name, height, width, scrollbars)

{

  var popwin;

  var opts = 

"toolbar=no,status=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no";

opts += ",height=" + height + ",width=" + width + 

",scrollbars=" + scrollbars;

 

  popwin = window.open("", name, opts);

  popwin.focus();

  popwin.location = url;



  return false;

}

--> 

</script>

 

<a href="foo.html"

  onclick="return popup(this.href, 'pollution', 500, 450, 'yes');">test</a>

I want to adapt that to imagemap, but I can't fix this code:


<img src="image.gif" border="0" usemap="#mapname">

<map 

name="mapname"

onclick="return popup(areaid.href, 'pollution', 500, 450, 'yes');">

<area

	id="areaid"

	href="foo.html" 

	shape="rect" 

	coords="10,10,30,30"

	>

</map>
 

what's wrong ?

Re: Javascript popup windows milov, 020125 15:47
You probably have to add the onclick-event to the <area>-tag, rather than the <map>-tag.
...

<area

	id="areaid"

	href="foo.html" 

        onclick="return popup(this.href, 'pollution', 500, 450, 'yes');">

	shape="rect" 

	coords="10,10,30,30"

	>

</map>

I want my index page to load in fullscreen frameless when… GreasyMidget, 020926 00:12
How in the heck can i do this without loading a splash screen first then the main page i want. another words when people type in www.rdempster.com they get a fullscreen frameless explorer.

Re: Javascript popup windows milov, 020926 11:48
Well, if you *want* to annoy people with an unannounced fullscreen window, something like this should suffice:
<body onload="window.open('fullscreen.html','_blank','fullscreen=yes');">
 But seriously, fullscreen sucks. Don't use it.

Re: Javascript popup windows -> problem in Opera? Anne, 021112 18:59
This script does not work in Opera 5.0 and 6.0 / MacOS9.

Unless, I change:



popwin = window.open("", name, opts); 

popwin.focus(); 

popwin.location = url;
 

into



popwin = window.open(url, name, opts); 

popwin.focus();
 

Can somebody explain to me why this is working and whether this change has any drawbacks? The changed code still works in IE5.1/Mac and Mozilla1.1a/Mac.

Thanks!

Re: Javascript popup windows 23JUL, 021112 19:18
I am not sure, but it looks like Opera stops finishing the script at the moment it looses focus (that is: popwin gets the focus, opener gets blurred).

You may try to swap the last two lines of the first script or run a script from the popped-up window via the window.opener property.

Re: Javascript popup windows Anne, 021112 19:45
Thanks for your quick response.

I have tried swapping the last two lines as you suggested, but the window Opera opens is still empty.

Regarding your alternative solution: I do not know how to pass the href through the window.opener property. I will try to find out though. The link you kindly supplied will certainly help me with that.

Still, I am curious to know whether the changes I made to the original script will have any drawbacks. Is it still valid Javascript?
217.20.199.144
Re: Javascript popup windows 23JUL, 021112 22:07
I see no reason why it shouldn't be valid code.
It doesn't have any drawbacks either; in case of Mac/Opera: the contrary ;)

Thank you for the reinforcement.

I am no Javascript expert - as you have probably understood by now - and thought that by changing these lines I would remove some contingency code, like the 
popwin.focus ();
  statement and the 
return false;
  statement mentioned in the first reply in this thread.

use the image map to choose the links then in the 
<a href="...">
  use this instead:




<a href="#" onClick="popup1()">.....
 

here is the popup script:



<script language="javascript">

<!--

function popup1()

   {

   window.open('address of page','new','height,width,status,toolbars,menus,scrollbars');

   }

//-->

Hey Guys,

I'm using the code you've posted to display images. I was wondering if there is a way in IE 6 to remove the white border around the image when it is displayed in a new window. I know this can be done in the html by declaring: <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> Is there a way to pass these margins through the javascript to the next page?

Got no semi-colons to seperate the lines.
A onclick="open('whatever.html','miniwin','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0, menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=435,height=300');" href="javascript:void(0);">

Gotta have the semicolons otherwise the script works GREAT!!
Thanks for the idea!

Hi Spaz-Monkey,

To keep the answer short, no. Only the people that host the framepage at elusiononline.tk can do that. Sorry, there are no workarounds. Just skip the tk domain name, there's nothing wrong with http://www.spaz-monkey.co.uk/elusion/
