NS does not accept linkname.click

nntp

<a id="hiddenLink1" name="hiddenLink1" href="page1.htm"
target="someTarget1" >1 </a>
<a id="hiddenLink2" name="hiddenLink2" href="page2.htm"
target="someTarget1" >2 </a>
<A href="javascript:donothing();"
onClick="hiddenLink1.click();setTimeout('hiddenLin k2.click()',2000);">open
two</A>

works in Opera and IE, but not in NS. In NS, it has no action at all.

I tried document.links['hiddenLink1'].click(); IE gave me error, object
document.link.hiddenLink1 can not be empty.

Did you check the Javascript Console? Tools>Web Development>Javascript
Console.

Error: hiddenLink1 is not defined.

It has an action, but you need to open the Javascript console to see it.
It should display an error because there is no global variable named
"hiddenLink1". IE, and apparently Opera, allows you to get away with
that, but it's poor practice. To get a reference to an element with a
given id, use getElementById(), as in:

document.getElementById('hiddenLink1').click();

However, I don't think links have a "click()" method in Netscape.

You also shouldn't use the javascript: pseudo-protocol like that.
It may cause errors if Javascript is disabled.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function openTwoWindows(url1,url2){
window.open(url1);
setTimeout("window.open('"+url2+"')",2000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="errorPage.html"
onclick="openTwoWindows('page1.htm','page2.htm');r eturn false"open two</a>

</body>
</html>

Do you know how I can do click in NS?

Here is the one with getelementbyid

<a id="hiddenLink1" name="hiddenLink1" href="http://www.google.com"
target="someTarget1" >1 </a>
<a id="hiddenLink2" name="hiddenLink2" href="http://www.yahoo.com"
target="someTarget1" >2 </a>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function donothing() {return ;}
</SCRIPT>

<A href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('hiddenLink1').cl ick();
setTimeout('document.getElementById(\'hiddenLink2\ ').click()',2000);">open
2</A>

Works in IE and Opera. STILL not working in NS. I guess it is the click()
not working in NS;

I need to pass the REFERRER into it, so I really need click(). Frames are
not an option.

You don't need it to click the link. Try:

<A href="#"
onclick="
location = document.getElementById('hiddenLink1');

setTimeout('location=document.getElementById(\'hid denLink2\')',2000)
;">open 1</A>

Incidentally, the setTimeout will not work (I think)
because you navigate to the first link, so the page is
unloaded. You can't execute a script from a page that is
no longer in the browser (gee, wouldn't that really screw
with users's minds!! Isn't the unload function nasty
enough?)

Cheers, Rob
