Links take over browser window.

Is there any way to create and open a window in javascript so that links in
other websites won't "steal" it?

I've written a web page with a form for people to enter headlines and URLs
from newspapers. They will want my window to stay there as they surf through
various online newspapers. We don't want their popup links to take over my
form window!

This is a real problem - it renders my web page useless and wastes peoples
time.

It ought to be illegal for a web page to steal other web page windows!

Thanks for any help.

It should be illegal!


That's just a little over-the-top, don't you think?

I meant in the same sense that my computer is always telling me "You have
performed an illegal operation" e.g. nothing that pops up something in a
browser can have permission to use an existing window. Thanks for the tip on
the flag in advanced options, I'll have a look for that.

I have an applet which is a cube each face if which is a link. I have a floating <DIV> element which when the mouse is over the applet it pops up showing the text of all the links in the applet.

I have had problems several times with links to files to download. In one case I had a text file with different extension than txt, that, in case the user has the associated application installed, it could be opened with that, or otherwise downloaded. The problem was that in some clients, the browser displayed the file, wich was not the intended purpose and was useless for the visitors. Another time I had the more common challenge of...

I am in the final moments of designing a new website. One of the pages (http://www.auditionfactory.com/samples.php) has four links to show sample work. I would like these links to open new browser windows when clicked. I have found scripts that will allow one to open, and a few that claim to all multiples to be opened, but so far nothing that will allow a user to open multiple new windows as they click to see new samples. Does anyone...

I inherited a website to update and maintain and it appears that many extra files have accumulated on the server over the last few years. I would like to clean them up, but the idea of manually going thru all of the pages, listing the links and then comparing the list to the file directory seems very time consuming. Can anyone point me to a tool or method to streamline this process? Even something that just lists the links included in...

I have been asked to assist some Veterans to overcome a problem they are having in IE6 with the behaviour of internal links on some pages they have written. Background Their schema is to float a thumbnail link to the right of a para (say), the para having the same id value as the name of full size image file that is to be downloaded. The image is got using a get variable in a query string which also links to the named id.

Hi I have a flash interactive window which has html links and this appears on an html page. This window can be moved with the mouse on the html page. The html page has an iFrame too. When the flash window comes above the iframe area the html links stop working. Yet the links remain active when the flash window is outside the iFrame area. This problem is coming in Firefox, but running fine in IE. If anybody has any solution, please...

Hi all, I need a persistent TCP connection with my web server over page reloads. This means that, even if the user goes to a different page (in my domain), I want to keep a TCP connection live. I know I can do something similar with globalStorage in FF, window.name & userData on IE, but those storages only hold strings.

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