Make a clickable url which opens/creates 2 Firefox configuration files

58 New Member
As a start page I usually have several of my bookmarks and a "Home portal". I have decided that I want a new feature.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <script language="javascript">
  3. onclick="document.location.href="about:config"
  4. </script>
  5. </html>
  6.  
It doesn't appear to be working. What I want to do is make a clickable url that creates 2 pages of the Firefox configuration file. So that i can change values, then alt tab and look at my default values. Basically I click the link "Config" and it pops open twice.

I think the browser doesn't permit you to open about:config from a link within the HTML.

Even your code is wrong.
Instead of writing it in script tag, write it inside a button tag.[html]<button onclick="docume nt.location.hre f='www.theScrip ts.com'">Open Link</buttom>[/html]Also use the quotes carefully.

Also, replace document.locati on with window.location .

PS. changed the thread title to something more meaningful.

The link is only clickable when you move over the chevron. In Firefox, the link works as expected - the full image can be clicked. Does anyone know what's causing this bug?

I can't make this script work properly. I've gone as far as I can with it and the rest is out of my ability. I can do some html editing but I'm lost in the Java world. The script at the bottom of the html page controls the form fields that are required. It doesn't function like it's supposed to and I can leave all the fields blank and it still submits the form. Also I can't get it to transfer the file in the upload section. The file name...

In several of my pages I need to show an area with a background image and HTML text in certain places. The restrictions I have is that I can't use javascript or CSS positioning like 'float', so I did it with a table. I then tried <a href="..."><table ...>...</table></a and it worked in Firefox but not in IE. I then found out that <tableshouldn't go inside <a>. So I put the <a href="..."inside every <tdin the table, but it doesn't cover...

I have an image of an open book as the main menu on my website. Each word written in the book links to a related page. I would like to develop it further and have it so that the person can click a button on the corner of the page to see the next page- so all the information is on different 'pages' of the book. The problem is that Im teaching myself as I go along and am not sure what would be the best method of doing this. Is there a way...

For some reason, FF likes to put a black underline on all my buttons. No matter what I do, it has the line I've tried displaying as block and cursor, anything.. Also I've been trying to get it so the entire block is clickable, not just the text. I've sorta got it so it's clickable, just some parts of the button I still can't click on.
