Been trying on and off for days to find a happy cross-browser way to open up a new window and append some content to it. Obviously not a javascript pro here, and my Google-fu has failed me...
I've got a link that launches a little AJAX application in a window.
Like this:
function launchListener() { var newWindow = window.open("listener.php", "newWindow", "width=300,height=150"); }
Ideally, once this window is loaded, it will sit in the background and wait for stuff to happen. I would like to then change the title bar to denote changes. Simple enough, right?
Anyway, problem is: When the new window launches, its title is not exactly what I assign it in "listener.php" (for instance, "Listener"), but rather "http://155.55.55.55 - Listener" (or whatever). This means that while sitting the taskbar, generally all the user is going to see is a domain name and some dots, rather than what I want them to see.
I have 4 images on a page and when someone clicks on one of them I open a secondary window and write a few lines to it describing the image.
If they don't close that secondary window however, and click on another of these 4 images, my write commands print further down on that secondary window.
I was reading through an old javascript book that talks about the win1.document.clear(); method, but information on the Internet tells me that this is now obsolete, or was just working on Netscape.
So then I decided to close the secondary window before re-opening it. But if the user _did_ close the secondary window, I get an error saying that the window I'm trying to close is already closed (or doesn't exist to be exact)!
Is there a way to clear the document in a window that I opened and wrote to? Or is there a way to detect if win1 exists or not? If it exists, I would close it. If it didn't exist, I would just re-open a new one.
I have a problem on the links on my page im working.sorry guys still a noob and my english is not that good. :b. my question is like i have a list of packages of food. [link_a] [link_b] [link_c] and i have a function that i put in my head tag:
function linkA() { window.open('link_a.html','link','width=300,height=200,resizable=yes'); }
now i can go to linka.html by click my link <A HREF="javascript:linkA()" >link a</A> is there a way i can have one functions that can open a link depend on what page .when it clicks then go to its designated page or i have to stick on writing function for linkB ,C,D and so on.
I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
Through window.open or window.showmodaldialog, I want to open a word or excel document in Print Preview mode. Bcos I don't want the user to make any changes or save it but the user can ONLY VIEW OR take a print out.
I'm using an <A> tag with an onclick event to open a window with JS (window.open)... In FIREFOX, if I click very quickly, multiple windows open. Not a problem in IE.
in the above i'm getting the following error: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (c) isnt associated with any program"
window.open() doesn't open an entirely new window in FF3.6, just a new tab
Edit: Yeah, ok, so if i specify a size smaller than the current standard window, it'll be forced to open a new window. but what if i want a new standard sized window to open entirely?
I'm using ColorBox to open a simple popup and it works fine. In the same page I have a link which sends an ajax request which return the entire <body> content that I then use to replace the body of the current page. After I do this replacement, the colorbox does not open anymore. I got no JS errors.
I need a script that will open a new window (popup / new link) in a specific size, but will also close the old window (where the popup came from). I know the popup window is easy but finding a work-able close window script as the new window is opened is impossible!!
I am trying to pop up a window and then do stuff(set flags) when the content of the new window is done loading. For this I am trying to detect the window.onload of the pop-up child window but so far I am unsuccessful. I believe my problem is that the URL of child window is on different domain, than the one of the opener(parent) so that the window.onload is not being called. Though this may change, at the moment I do not have access to the code for the page I'm opening up in the pop-up. Im pretty new to web development.
I need to open a popup window from a PHP site and pass in some parameters to use in the pop up window. I have the params in an input box and need to get the val of the box into a param and pass it to the new popup window. All pages are local and in the same folder. The id of the input box is 'ddutykey'. The name of the new window would be showduty.php if possible.
With ref. to MS IE, when I use window.open with the usual sizing and 'toolbar=yes', 'menubar=yes' the target URL opens in a new window - but without an address bar.
'addressbar=yes' does not seem valid. Can someone please tell me how to proceed?
When creating a new window and specifying ANY features (on or off) at all like such:
<A HREF="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open('NONE.php','welcome','toolbar=1,location=1,directories=1,status=1,menubar=1,resizable=1, scollbars=1')"> Open a new window</A> the new window does not have scrollbars even though scrollbars are necessary for my document (vertically, at least).
This problem occurs in Firefox and Internet Explorer 6. The problem does NOT occur if there are no features are specified.
I've got this row of images (in the end there will be more rows of pics as well). When a user clicks on the image, I want a new window to open with a larger version of the image. I want that new window to be customized to the size of the new larger image. Also, when users go back to see other images in their larger size, I want the new window (assuming they never closed the first one) to come back to the front.
I've only gotten as far as getting the larger images to open in a new window at a set size in the function. I thought I could just make specific scripts for each image, but that would be cumbersome to say the least....
but what I need is, after the new window is popped up, the opener will be redirected to another page, I want the another page able to control the popup window is it possible? is there something like getWindowById.
Firstly I know this issue has been addresses a lot already but as a newbie to HTML and Web Development I am unable to get the idea. according to documentations and solutions proposed on different forums a popup or child window can be only closed using window.close() if it is opened via window.open() function.
so obviously the href attr adds the link. Is there something I add to the onclick to make it open a new window instead of loading it in the existing window?
Also, I want to have getJsonDate(); execute when the page loads, how can I achieve this?
