I am trying to create a new window from which the original page can
close that new window. For some reason the following code will not
work. Passing the window.open command to a variable called myWindow
does not work with the mouse event, but it seems to work fine with a
javascript : URL command. I would prefer to do it with the mouse event.
Please assist. I can not find any documentation for this in any of my
books.
<!-- Code begins -->
<html>
<body>
<a href="#" onMouseDown="va r myWindow=window .open('text.htm l',
'bobby', 'width=200, height=200');"> Open</a>.
<a href="#" onMouseDown="my Window.close(); ">Close</a>.
</body>

The contents of the onmousedown attribute value is used as the body of
a function. That means that "var myWindow" declares a local variable
in that function ....

Drop the "var" and it should work.

spaces in the configuration string confuzes some browsers. Remove the
space before "height", and it should work in more browsers.
Add ",resizable=yes ". In the cases where 200x200 isn't enough (and
with user stylesheets, there can be some that you can't predict),
you should allow the user to resize the window. If the content fits,
he probably won't resize anything, so it doesn't hurt to add it.

Thank you. That definately worked. I also found articles on local and
global variables, and I have a better understanding of how it works.
I will also be sure to follow the guidelines for the pop up window.
Thanks,

Is there a way to duplicate this in from the popup window.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

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,...
