Window.Open () not working

JNariss

Hello,

Within a form I created I have placed links that users can click on to
view information. I am trying to write a javascript code so it opens in
a sized window but I can't seem to figure this out. So far I have come
up with the following:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var WindowObjectReference; // global variable

function openRequestedPopup()
{
WindowObjectReference =
window.open("http://egsrosintra1/egs%20intranet/ACPCodes.html",
"ACP Codes",
"width=420,height=230,resizable,scrollbars=yes,sta tus=1");
}
</script>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/>
<title>BPCS and Logpro User Authority Form</title>
<style type="text/css">
And in the text code: <p><a
href="javascript:OpenRequestedPopup('http://egsrosintra1/egs%20intranet/ACPCodes.html');">ACP
- Accounts Payable</a><br />
Any ideas as to why it is not working correctly? And when I need to add
the additional criteria to open the other links where would I insert
that code?

Thanks in advanced,
Justine

Look at your function... case sensitive + argument list is completly
not the same...

I still can't seem to get it to work. I looked at the function and
noticed in my href= that the "O" should have not been capitalized. Then
I changed the rest to:

NEVER post entirely code like that... it is SO useless

I said check your arguments :

function openRequestedPopup() <---- no argument here
and
javascript:openRequestedPopup("http://egsrosintra1/egs%20intranet/ACPCodes.html",
"ACP Codes"); <---- arguments here

change your function add 2 arguments: a1, a2, and do something like
that
WindowObjectReference = window.open(a1, a2, "width=420,height=230");

The a2 is a title of the page and i don't think spaces are allowed

The original code had javascript:OpenRequestedPopup with a capital O,
the function name had a lowercase o.
change your function add 2 arguments: a1, a2, and do something like
that
WindowObjectReference = window.open(a1, a2, "width=420,height=230");

They aren't in IE.

Language is deprecated; just use type. Idem est:

<script type="text/javascript">

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interac...#adef-language
var WindowObjectReference; // global variable

function openRequestedPopup()
{
WindowObjectReference =
window.open("http://egsrosintra1/egs%20intranet/ACPCodes.html",
"ACP Codes",

"strWindowName
This is the string that just names the new window. Such string can
be used to be the target of links and forms when the target attribute of
an <a> element or of a <form> is specified. This [Window name] string
parameter *_should not contain any blank space_*."
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs...and_parameters

Idem est:
"ACPCodes" or "ACP_Codes"
"width=420,height=230,resizable,scrollbars=yes,sta tus=1");
It's better to define the function like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var WindowObjectReference;
function openRequestedPopup(strUrl, strWindowName)
{
if(!WindowObjectReference || WindowObjectReference.closed)
{
WindowObjectReference =
window.open(strUrl, strWindowName,
"width=420,height=230,location,resizable,scrollbar s,status");
}
else
{
WindowObjectReference.focus();
};
}
</script>

(...)

and then to structure the call like this:

<p><a href="http://egsrosintra1/egs%20intranet/ACPCodes.html"
target="ACPCodes"
onclick="openRequestedPopup(this.href, this.target); return false;"
title="Clicking this link will create a new window or will bring up back
on top an already opened secondary window">Show the ACP -- Accounts
Payable</a></p>

In the openRequestedWindow, I added location because its presence will
be forced in IE 7.

The above code could be furthermore improved if we knew for what this
would be used.
}
</script>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/>
<title>BPCS and Logpro User Authority Form</title>
<style type="text/css">
And in the text code: <p><a
href="javascript:OpenRequestedPopup('http://egsrosintra1/egs%20intranet/ACPCodes.html');">ACP
- Accounts Payable</a><br />

Never use "javascript:" pseudo-protocol, even if your webpage was to go
on an intranet. "javascript:" pseudo-protocol will break in many
situations and contexts, even on an intranet. An href attribute value
should *_always_* have a real link.
