form results in new window

[AVF07]

I use this javascript code:

function displayAllResults(r) {
    var t = "<h2>Result:<textarea name='resultsBox' style='background-color: #FFF8C6' rows='30' cols='35' readonly>"+r+"</textarea>&nbsp;<br></h2>";    document.getElementById(/*belowBoardCellName*/rightOfBoardCellName).innerHTML = t); 
    }
 

When the user clicks on a button called "All Results" a text called results "r" is displayed in a textbox of my HTML document. The result r text is in a MYSQL database and is called by a php script.

Everything works well, however I would like to display this box with the current result text in a new window, but was not able to do so.

Thanks in advance for any help.

what is calling the function displayAllResults(r)? and what data is r holding?

To open a new window, use the window.open() method. Keep a reference to the window so that you can access it. Show the code that you have tried.

Two function are calling displayAllResults(r), r holds varies text data in the database.

function transistionC() {
    var r = "";
    var tempR = "";
    var rArr = new Array(0);
    var isNew;
    for(var row=0; row<NUM_OF_ROWS; row++) {
        for(var col=0; col<NUM_OF_COLS/*allResults.length*/; col++) {
            tempR = getResult(row, col, false); //shouldReturnSum = false, display the sum in seperately
            isNew = true;
            if(tempR.length > 0) {
                    for(var i=0; i < rArr.length; i++) {
                    if(tempR.search(rArr[i]) != -1) {
                        isNew = false;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                if(isNew) {
                    r = r + tempR + "\n\n"; 
                    rArr[rArr.length] = tempR.substring(1,30);
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    var sumResult = parent.OracleData.getSumResult();
    //alert(sumResult);
    //alert("hello... in transistionC()");
    r = "Results" + sumResult + "\n\n" + r;
    displayAllResults(r);
    //state is still results
}
 
function transistionH() {
    displayAllResults(r);
}

I have tried:

    }

I have tried onClick = window.open(); but I am not certain what to pu in paranthesis as I only want the textbox to open in a new window?

function displayAllResults(r) {
onClick = window.open();
    var t = "<h2>Result:<textarea name='resultsBox' style='background-color: #FFF8C6' rows='30' cols='35' readonly>"+r+"</textarea>&nbsp;<br></h2>";
    document.getElementById(/*belowBoardCellName*/rightOfBoardCellName).innerHTML = t); 
    }

Please use CODE tags when posting code.

See this link (describes how to use window.open).

You have two options: either create a page which has the text box and then just change its value, or open a new document and write to it using document.write.
