Multiple windows using window.open()

[Sam]

I have 2 jsp pages which are loaded from the same browser window.
Inside these jsp pages, I have created 2 windows to write client side
log. I have used different id for 2 windows as follow.

In JSP1 page I create one window & second window is created in jsp2
page.

Win1 = window.open('Log1', 'win1',
config='right=0,top=60,toolbar=0,width=300,height= 300,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,location=no,status=no
');

Win1.document.writeln(yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd + ' ' + hh + ':' + mn
+ ':' + ss + ',' + ms);

Win2 = window.open('Log2', 'win2',
config='right=0,top=60,toolbar=0,width=300,height= 300,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,location=no,status=no
');

Win2.document.writeln(yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd + ' ' + hh + ':' + mn
+ ':' + ss + ',' + ms);

When the page loads I can see 2 pop-up windows just fine. But then all
the writeln statements(from page1 & page2) go to the win2. Even the
writeln statements from page1. I would like to have page1 log go to
win1 & page2 go to win2. What I am doing wrong?

Is Log1 the name of a file? If nothing else, it should be a blank file
that you can write to.
Win1.document.writeln(yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd + ' ' + hh + ':' + mn
+ ':' + ss + ',' + ms);
Win2 = window.open('Log2', 'win2',
config='right=0,top=60,toolbar=0,width=300,height= 300,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,location=no,status=no
');
Same here with Log2, the first parameter is the name of the file to open
in the new window.

Note: There is no config= in the third parameter to window.open, drop it:

window.open([resource],[windowName],[windowParameters]);
Win2.document.writeln(yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd + ' ' + hh + ':' + mn
+ ':' + ss + ',' + ms);
Changing the Log1 and Log2 to about:blank I don't get the behavior you
describe.
When the page loads I can see 2 pop-up windows just fine. But then all
the writeln statements(from page1 & page2) go to the win2. Even the
writeln statements from page1. I would like to have page1 log go to
win1 & page2 go to win2. What I am doing wrong?

Use a dummy page (blank.html) to load instead of Log1 and Log2, or, make
them actual pages. Other than that, I can't duplicate what you are
describing.
