Window.open() Amd Window.opener.document In FireFox
Mar 14, 2009
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.
2. index.php > left tree menu on click > Code: case 'Aanvragen':{ // This is a template var db = myAjaxReturn('intranet/aaaaa/aaaaa.php', ''); [code]....
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 am trying to usw window.open , upload a file in the child window and then referesh the parent window. But once upload is done, window . opener .location.href or opener.location.replace sends a message back but I get a pop up blocker, so if I turn pop up blocker off, it opens in new page. I just want the parent page to refresh on the same window. This works on some employees stations but not on others..I don't know if there are any settings on IE that need to change, I tried everything...weird. does any one done this before?
I'm using window.showModalDialog but having an issue trying to set the parent window(main browser). I open modal window A which is then opens modal window B, top of modal window B onload I do window.opener.close()". My issue now is when i'm finished with B I set parent window(main browser) to a new url with window.opener.location. So my problem is modal window A the parent has been closed so window.opener.location will not work.
I have a form that is in a popup window. I need the form to submit to the opener window. Is is possible to do that? The opener window is the main window so it is does not have a name and there are no framesets.
<form action="something.php" method="post" target="????"> I'd like to use window.opener in the target but that's JavaScript...
I know somebody has done this before and has the code.
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.
I see this problem in IE but not Firefox. I have a page that opens a second page as a dialog box. If the Dialog is relaunched from a second instance on the page the Dialog window is reused, the controls are reinitialized but window.opener still refers to the original opener. I have simplified code than demonstrated the problem. Code:
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"
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.
I see how the window.opener works, pretty neat in that the pop window knows the parent.
Is there a property that also knows the form field parent?
My function does not know which of the 3 select menus called it.
What can I do?
function onCarrierSelect() { // var frm = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.selectedIndex var selectCar = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.options[frm].text; alert(selectCar); if (window.opener && !window.opener.close) window.opener.document.form(x how make global?).nbcarrier(x how make global?).value = selectCar window.close(); }
p.s. as an aside I know the form field name, it is literally in the querystring, but that is ASP/vbscript and no way to get it into the jscript function...
I am new to JavaScript but until now, have felt my way along fairly successfully. I have a page showing an image to the user. I use window.open to open a separate page, listing a bunch of different images that the user can select. When the user clicks "Submit", I'd like the image selection page to close and update the image on the originating page.
To "play around" with this command until I can use it successfully, I wrote the following;
function Button1_onclick() { window.opener.document.bgcolor='bisque' window.opener.location.reload() window.close() }
The line for changing the back ground color to bisque I pulled from the netscape site javascript reference for Window.Opener.
I am using window.open in an AJAX page and it works in both IE and FF but in the latter the hourglass stays up and both the progress bar and the small animated circle-of-dots graphic keep on running indefinitely in the new window.
I can press the STOP button to get them to stop, but I'm wondering if there is something else I can do to get rid of this behavior. The page is most definitely loading properly and completely.
If it matters what I am writing to the new document is an XML document after being passed through an XSL sheet. Sometimes the XML doc is large enough to fill several pages of the viewport, but often it is just a few lines and the problem is the same regardless.
For an in-house web application (it will only be deployed on Firefox browsers with JavaScript turned on), I need to open a preview window (which needs to be a separate window, even if Firefox is set to open targeted links in new tabs) and be able to change the preview window's location.href from the opening window, even after a new page is loaded into that window.
I wrote following code for the purpose to single right click to open new window, while left click would open another window. It works for IE but does not work for Firefox.

I have written a simple code to open up a new window onclick of a button as follows;
function loadExamp() { var reqType = getElementValue("reqType", 1);
[code]....
The problem is that this code is working on Google Chrome but not in Firefox and IE. Why is that and how can I resolve this issue.I am using Firefox 3.6.11 and IE 8.0.XX.Also I tried to open a new window using <a href> option with the same URL and its working but the only problem is that I want to pass my next JSP an argument which is only possible with function or script.
I googled it but couldn't find much information except that there is some security problem. For that I have disabled the 'Pop up Bloker' on both Firefox and IE but still not working.When I click my button there is no activity with 'Firefox' but IE gives me error as follows;
I'm trying to accessing the Parent window fom a sub window previously opened using window.open.I'm using firebug to t yand debug, and it shows that this DOM entry exists..window.opener.location.href.But trying to access it gives "window opener is null" error.I've tried all these, and get the various errors tagged on the end...
<script language="JavaScript"> //alert(opener.location); // = opener is null //alert(opener.location.href); // = opener is null[code]......
cannot get a new (picture) window to open in Firefox without the title and address bars (or anything else, just the image). IE shows just the title bar, with or without the code:
function newWindow() {window.open('./pageaddress.html','winname','top=20,left=20,directories=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=350');} </script>
The window opens fine, but always shows the address and title bars. I have read the W3 Schools options list (and other posts) and tried both 'no' and '0' as values, without any success. What am I missing and is there any way to make this work - it didn't even work in the W3 Schools 'try it yourself' test page!
I have seen some very nice 'slowly-opening' windows (increasing in size)
This pops up a new window with every call. In the child window I call a parent function onbeforeunload, appClose() :
function appClose(){
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed){ window.opener.CloseChild(getQueryString("application")); }}
This is in my frameset tag of the child code :
<frameset ... onbeforeUnload='appClose()'>
The window.opener.CloseChild() function is called perfectly when I have one child window open, but as soon as I create another child window both of the open child windows don't ever call it. They do both go into the onbeforeunload appClose() function, but do not call the window.opener.CloseChild() function inside of this routine.
Anyone have any ideas why when I have two child windows open I can't access the window.opener functions?
I have tried taking each new window out of the array and used the following code in CloseChild() :
If i open a link either by using the right mouse menu "open in new window" or press shift (IE) on the link the page will be opened in a new window. From this window I can use the window.opener object to access the opening window.
When doing this in NN7.1 I cannot access windows.opener. If I open the window with window.open I can also use the window.opener to access the opening window but not if I open the new window by pressing CTRL an clicking the link or using right click "Open link in new window".
Is it only possible to access the window.opener if the window was opened with window.open in NN7?
I have a normal window cotaining a form (named form1). The form has a text input called imageURL. There is a button that, when clicked, opens a new window that contains three frames (left, right and bottom.) In the right frame is another form (named form2) with a hidden input (selected). When form2 is submitted, I want the value of selected to be passed back to the imageURL on form1 and then close. The code I have tried is as follows:
(From my frame...) <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> function passValues() { // pass variable back to parent window window.opener.document.form1.imageURL.value = document.form2.selected.value; } top.window.close(); </SCRIPT>
It closes just fine, but imageURL on form1 never changes.
