find users default homepage

[svjames]

heya guyzorz, just a quick q, for the life of me i cant find a way to obtain the value of a users browsers default homepage. Ive written a site that provides access to the internet on a certain segment and once a user is logged in i want to forward them to thier own homepage in a new window. i tried window.open(win dow.home()) but to no avail, usually my attampts ended in a script working in IE and not MOZ or vice versa. i have developed a work-around, but i need to identify what the preset homepage is to complete the script - in MOZ. My IE version (im useing browser detection) works fine,

href="about:home"

and it works when you type about:home into the address bar, but not in MOZ, of course, just to be difficult.
If you have a good way of achieving a new page at the users homepage in IE6,7 and MOZ i'd really like to know, otherwise, *sob* please help*sob*
rgr and thanks

Welcome to TSDN!

I'm not sure, but does window.home() not work?

Cheers, glad to be here,
well, yes it does actually work, but no as well. window.home() will correctly sen the browser to its default homepage. what i am trying to do is open a new browser window directed specifically to the users homepage. eg the window.open(win dow.home()) which doesnt work. it opens the browser, yes, but doesnt go to the homepage.

In that case, try opening a new window and then calling window.home() on the new window, e.g.

var newwin = window.open(...);
newwin.home();
