Redirection and opening a new window in IE7

Oliver Wong

I'm trying to have the "submit" button of a form open a new window
which loads a PDF, and also to redirect the window containing the submit
button to a new location. Here's a small HTML file demonstrating my code:

<html>
<body>
<input type="button"
onclick="window .open('http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lowe/papers/ijcv04.pdf');
window.location = 'http://www.google.ca/';"/>
</body>
</html>

This works in IE6 and Firefox, but it seems to fail in IE7. In IE7,
the redirection to a new page will work, but opening the PDF in a new
window will fail. What can I do to get the script to work in IE6, IE7 and
Firefox?

It's a timing problem, methinks,
the page with it's javascript is gone before the open has had time
enough.

Try this:

=============== =============== =============== ==
<script type='text/javascript'>
function ggl(){
window.open('ht tp://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lowe/papers/ijcv04.pdf');
setTimeout('ggl 2()',100)
};
function ggl2(){
location.href = 'http://www.google.ca/';
};
</script>

<input type="button" onclick="ggl(); ">
=============== =============== =============== ==

This seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

Impossible resizing due to redirection?

by: astpaul | last post by:

Hi, I want to resize the main window through Javascript using the self.resizeTo() function. Nevertheless i've ot a pb: I have a domain (http://www.re-crear.org). This domain is redirected transparently to a page in another domain (http://www.clairecharter.com/hosting/axiotonal/index.php) by automatically adding an invisible frame within my own pages. This way nobody can see the redirection.

Slide Show Redirection

by: Wazz Up | last post by:

Hi, I'm trying run an image slide show where the images rotate once each, then after the last image in the array has been displayed for the specified amount of time, a redirection to another page occurs. The problem I'm having is that the redirection happens as soon as the last image is displayed. Here's an example of a normal version where the images rotate continuously and the redirect version that isn't working properly:

Opening image in new window without padding

by: D. Alvarado | last post by:

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

Help Needed: Can't Successfully Perform Server-side Redirection

by: Mike Hofer | last post by:

I really need some help, and I'd appreciate any that you folks can provide. The ASP.NET application in question uses version 1.1 of the .NET Framework. All of the pages use a common base class (derived from System.Web.UI.Page). So, for instance, my home page's inheritance chain looks like this: HomePage Inherits WebPageBase

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
