open new window
Hi,
I am creating my web page so that if you click on a picture, it opens up a new window. Pretty easy stuff - but the problem is that it doesn't open up a new window with every pic. Instead it just replaces the image. How can I ensure a new window is opened up everytime. here is my code (am I missing something?).. <a href="#" target="_top" onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/images/label_scans/calbido.jpg','MyWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,di rectories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,re sizable=no,width=600,height=565'); return false;"><img src="http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/images/small_scans/calbido_sml.jpg"></a> ...and you can check out the page here: http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/archive.htm |

It will always open a new tab instead.

Are you =really= sure that the user wants this behavior without recourse? Each new window uses resources. Some users don't have much. Let the user choose. Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
Re: open new window
Thanks for all the quick responses. Some very valid points brought up
that I had not considered (I'm pretty new to all of this). my above link was incorrect - here is the correct one.. http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/archive.html as you will see - I have some smaller images (record covers) and I wanted the user to be able to click on each image, and a new window with an enlarged image appears. ...you will have to forgive the state of my webpage at the moment. It is still in progress and not online for general viewing yet. cheers |
Re: open new window
Ok - I tried the java script that was posted above - it works, but
still doesn't open up individual windows. It seems to do exactly the same as the original html code I posted above. What exactly does this Java script do that is any different? Are there any advantages to using script instead? <script type="text/javascript"> var MyWindow; function pop(x){ MyWindow=window.open(x.href,x.target,'width=600,he ight=565') } </script> <title></title> </head> <body> <a href= "http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/images/label_scans/calbido.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="pop(this);return false;"><img src= "http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/images/small_scans/calbido_sml.jpg"> </a> |

It is questionable on what the results will be. In FireFox 0.8.0+ it opens a new window that is 600 X 595 each time its clicked. In Mozilla 1.7.12 it opens a new window that is 600 X 595 each time its clicked. In IE 6 it opens a new window that is the same size of the opener window each time its clicked. In Opera 8.52 it opens a new tab each time its clicked. Each one is doing what I have it set to do. Each one I can also click on the link and choose how I want it opened. I have no way of knowing what filters/popup blockers you may have, what your settings are, what browser you are using. I do not see any advantages to using javascript in this example, if anything I think its a disadvantage. I think the best choice would be to use <a href= "http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/images/label_scans/calbido.jpg" img src= "http://www.groovetherapy.com.au/images/small_scans/calbido_sml.jpg"> </a> without the javascript and without the target. -- BootNic Sunday, February 19, 2006 12:57 PM Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. *Aldous Huxley * |

The user can choose to do that if the code of your link does not interfere with his browser settings. Also, note that 90% or so of people on the web have a scr. res. smaller than 1200 x 600: so, right there, the user can not have more than 2 windows side by side. Finally, your window features are trying to remove basic fundamental accessibility window features (scrollbars=no,resizable=no) and, at the same time, remove window features which browser manufacturers are now ensuring/forcing their rendering (location=no,status=no): so what you do goes against the users' best interests and, indirectly, against your best interests. Your window sizing requests will be fooled more often then honored. DOM:window.open() Usability issues http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs...ability_issues Gérard -- remove blah to email me |
