Is it possible to force a link to open in a new window instead of a tab (by default)? Or a means of making a download window open "nicely" rather then opening a new tab, then popping the download window and closing the tab it opened? (thats what firefox does, anyway)
Thanks

This is a browser setting, not possible to change through HTML/CSS. Look in your options for your own browser.

I know hp.com does this, FF, chrome or IE.
I think they use a popup.
This is a wild guess, but perhaps if the window properties are different (ie no status bar, or no menu or a set width or height) FF might open it in a window as well.
Not sure how well it would do with popup blockers. however if you just want this window to pop open a dialogue box (ie a file download) automatically (no user clicks) then a popup blocker won't catch it in time, it will still execute your code.

Why not?
(Don't ask why I simply did not open the window with the new size....my

Hello,
I am using the following javascript code to open a new window.
Somehow, IE always opens a new window. It doesn't open target url in
the window name given.
All i want is, if there is a window "MyWin" already open, then the
main window should load the target url in "MyWin" and not open a new
window again.

But, if it's not open, I don't want to open it . . . using
window.open will open it if it doesn't exist, even if the url in that

The situation is: A main window opens child windows one at a time as
the user requests, each with its own name. The user may click in any
child window or the main window to open a summary window, which has a
name all windows know. I want to get that...

That works fine, except I can't figure out how to modify it to make it open

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
