can you call a java

[Laura]

Hello,

I'm having a problem using Javascript. This may not even be possible,
but maybe there is another way of going about it.

I have a bunch of .js files that I insert into my my html file using
the <script> tag, and this works just fine. The .js files contain
info about the menu, table set up, etc. and take care of the page
format.

But now, I have a tidbit of Javascript in an htm file, and this tidbit
opens up a new window with some information on it. I want to insert
all of the menu and format javascript files on this new window that it
opens.

so, my question is: how would I do this: (since this doesn't work!)

output.document.write('<SCRIPT language=JavaScript
src="/scripts/menu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>');

???

Any help is very much appreciated!!

Hi Laura!

Unfortunately I cannot answer your Javascript question,
as I am just here to learn as well, but I *can*
reliably inform you that 'Java' is a completely
separate and different language from 'Javascript'.

It is important not to mix up the terms,
especially when you are posting to the
technical groups for these languages,
because it can confuse those who are 'skimming'
looking for posts that can be answered quickly.

This one, for example, might prompt something like..

Java != JS

;-)

I'll bow out now, and hopefully one who
is conversant with Javascript will happen
by in a moment..

Depends on how you opened it and where it got its content from.

output.document.write('<SCRIPT language=JavaScript
src="/scripts/menu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>');

That would work fine IF you opened and wrote all the rest of the content
dynamically as well. It sounds like you are opening an already existing
document, though, so it won't work.

You could hack a script that targeted the new window with the javascript
protocol and appended a script element to the page IF the content of the
page is from the same domain. Is it? Sounds like it is.

Such a script would only work in DOM browsers, such as IE6+/NN7+. Is
that acceptable?

I have code which will display named functions in a new window, and at
least most code can be put into a function.

See <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-index.htm#CD> and press the
button.

That may help with what you want.

Hi Andrew (and all),

I'm sorry about the subject of this posting. In my absentmindedness,
while I was thinking of an effective title, I didn't complete it.

I apologise for the the confusion!

"Does not work" is a useless error description. [psf 4.11]

<http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_43>
output.document.write('<SCRIPT language=JavaScript
src="/scripts/menu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>');
I suggest that one of the previous lines matched at least partly

var output = window.open(...);

If so, and if this script is included in a HTML document, it is
important that you escape End Tag Open (ETAGO) delimiters within
the script. The markup parser will probably consider either the
`</script>' or any ETAGO delimiter (`</') the end of the script
that *creates* the popup's document which would in turn result
in erroneous, because incomplete, script code.

Furthermore, you need to check if `output' is a useful Window
object reference before you access it, then open the stream
before you can reliably write to it, and close it when you are
finished:

if (output && !output.closed)
{
var d;
if ((d = output.document) && d.open && d.write && d.close)
{
d.open();
d.write(
'<!-- additional code to make this Valid (X)HTML -->'
+ '<script src="/scripts/menu_array.js"'
+ ' type="text/javascript"><\/script>'
+ '<!-- additional code to make this Valid (X)HTML -->');
d.close();
}
}
