Pop Up Window Will Not Obey A Close Command From Original Page.
Jul 20, 2005
I am trying to create a new window from which the original page can close that new window. For some reason the following code will not work. Passing the window.open command to a variable called myWindow does not work with the mouse event, but it seems to work fine with a javascript: URL command. I would prefer to do it with the mouse event. Code:
I need to run window.open() via href (not via onclick) as the CMS I'm working on only allows setting the href, not the whole <a> tag. I'm doing this: <a href="javascript: window.open('myUrl.php');">click this</a> and the window pops up just fine but the originating page changes to blank with '[object Window]' in it. How can I prevent the originating page from changing URL (by adding something to the javascript call)? Like "return void;" or something - but of course that didn't work...
i have a form, and for the user to upload a file, i use window.open with my upload script. however, after the file is uploaded, i want the filename to be put back on the original page in an input text field. how would i go about doing this?
I need a script to open a popup window which contains a php form. after the form has been submitted or cancelled i need to go back to the originated page (php also) and reload original page.
Within my Flex application I write stuff to the browser via a javascript document write.Is there a command to send to indicate I want to close that stream? When I send the command the rotating indicator keeps running indicating the browser is still expecting some stuff. If I click the stop button on the browser it stops spinning and the stuff I sent (an xml stream) becomes available. As this is an automated process, there is no person to hit the stop button.
I have a product that has many features. Clicking on a feature opens a popup window with explanation. There is a js Close Window link in each. All is fine so far.
Now in one popup window there is a reference to a different page of the main website. Is it possible to have a single text link both CLOSE the popup AND go to a new page in the parent window?
to create a hyperlink which closes the window. However with pages which display data retrieved from a database using PHP i use a form to submit a search on the page which displays results. At the bottom of the page is the close window link, however it fails to work once a form has been submitted on the page. It only works when the page first loads.
Any ideas guys on how i can get a close window option that works on my results page after submitting a search?
I'm not sure if this question should go to the "JavaScript" section; but I'm open to non-JavaScript (like VBScript) options too. So, I'm posting this here.
I have the following problem:
For my application, I need to ask a confirmation when the user closes the browser-window. If the answer is positive, I would like to log-off the session and close the window. If the answer is negative, I would like to stay back (no logging-off, no closing the window).
I can't do this in the window.unload event because the window is already closed when the unload event is fired. I tried doing this in the beforeUnload event. But the beforeUnload event gets called even when I refresh the page and in that case, I don't want to ask this question or logoff.
I was curious if such a thing is possible, I've seen it done before, but not exactly sure how that would work. Would it have something to do with the window.close (); function?
Ok so I have a site that I want to automatically close the window when the focus is lost from the page. For example, if the user clicks off the page to something else on there desktop I want the page to close. So far I have managed to do this but the grids on my page and the scroll bars all trigger the close function when clicked on. Is there anyway to make the scroll bars and drop down boxes not trigger the function?
I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the close button of the browser using javascript. Can anyone shed light on this problem ?
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.
open to a new window in the original window. the original window is blocked from any user inputs. a good example is here at [URL] and click on "locations" button. is there a special name for this window.open?
Opening a new window using the window.open( ) command works great for opening new windows and having them on top and having the focus. The window.focus command brings any existing windows to the front (top) in Netscape, IE and Opera. However, this command does nothing when you access the web page through AOL, even though they say this is IE. Once a window is behind (blurred), I have been unable to bring it back to the front without 1. closing it, and 2. re-opening it, which stinks.
I have an asp.net app running on an Intranet. From one of my aspx pages I would like to run a javascript that will run the following command OUTSIDE of the IIS/asp.net environment on the CLIENT machine (remember, a controlled Intranet!). Is this possible? This windows program needs to be opened and data entered periodically while using the asp.net app as well.
The exe runs in a dos command window, tied to a Citrix ica file.
I have a webpage with a link that produces a popup using javascript. I have another link in the popup. When the popup link is clicked I want only the original window to change location, while the popup remains the same. How can this be done?
- I have a button on my Flash site that opens an HTML page in a popup window. In Flash, I open the new window using Actiosnscript 2.0:
- Within the popup window are links to other HTML pages. They all open in the same window. I've been using the following to create the links in Dreamweaver:
- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
- The problem is that it works differently in each browser, and I can't even get it to consistently close the window in most browsers:
Internet Explorer = popup message appears, asking "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or something similar; window closes after clicking "Yes."
Safari = Only closes if I'm on the original HTML page. If I click on any of the other links (note that these all open in the same window), those pages' "Return to Main Menu" buttons cease to work. However, if I keep clicking "Back" until I get to the original page, it closes.
Opera = Button actually works for each page.
Firefox & Chrome = Does not close the window at all.
I looked into it and saw that others have used a window.opener to solve similar issues. But, since my popup window is opened using Flash/AS2, I need to find a way around it.
I've tried preceding "window.close()" with "window.opener=null" (i.e. -onClick="window.opener=null; window.close()"), but I don't think I'm doing it right because it still doesn't work.
I've also seen others use codes that involve functions and variables, but it is beyond my current coding knowledge to implement this. Like I said, I'm sort of new at this.
Code: $("#save_photos_all_continue").click(function() { event.preventDefault(); var $black_white_all = $("#black_white_all").is(':checked'); var $color_all = $("#color_all").is(':checked'); var $other_all = $("#other_all").is(':checked'); [Code]...
In Google Chrome it works fine but in Mozilla/5.0 it actually goes to the save_edits page instead of just using the post and staying on the original page.
I'm having trouble with some flash players that don't abide by the style attribute of the div they're created in using Javascript. When the flash-players' source is hard-coded into the page source they render fine, but the more players, the more bloat as you can see in the source of the original page.
Example: [URL] Original Page with old code: [URL] The problem code: <script type="text/javascript"> function clv(obj){ var strst="[URL]"; var strnm=obj; .....
The original page is visible for a very short moment, before the modifications done with the javascript are visible. This is logic to me, sinceI add my javascriptat the end of the page, as recomended. For the user it is a little confusing. Is there a way that the user sees only the page with the javascript modifications?
I read about window object and specifically about creating popup windows. The code below produces a popup window when a link is clicked:
Code JavaScript: var Survey = { init: function() { var surveyLink = document.getElementById("survey"); Core.addEventListener(surveyLink, "click", Survey.clickListener); }, [Code]....
I would like to add a "Close Window" button on survey.html page and when that button is clicked, the window would close. How do I do that? I know that I should use (reference to popup window).close(), but how and where do I attach even listener to that button?
There's some command I forgot that you can type into the address field of a web browser that will cause it to display the source code for that page instead of the page itself. Can anyone tell me what it is? It's something like:
viewsource:http://mysite.com or view:http://mysite.com or source:http://mysite.com
