CSS and Javascript and Open New Window? 2

[danielh68]

Hi

I'm building this site at

http://www.optihost.net/test

and I have encountered a little problem --by the way not all the links are working.

Anyhow, a CSS is applied to the leftframe. When you hover over them they illuminate somewhat, except for WebMail. The reason is the javascript is interfering with the CSS.

Here's the code for the WebMail link:

<span class=&quot;navbar&quot; onClick=&quot;NewWindow=window.open('

http://mail.optihost.net','WebMail','width=500,height=400')&quot;>

Webmail</span>

Here's the code of one of the links that work:

<span class=&quot;navbar&quot;><a href=&quot;fags.htm&quot; target=&quot;mainFrame&quot;>FAQs</a></span>

So is there anyway to get the Webmail link to behave like the others?

Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

It appears that the actual css might be referencing the anchor tags inside a navbar class. Try (temporarily) placing

<a>

tags around the word Webmail and see if it starts acting more like the others.

Or switch it to:

<span class=&quot;navbar&quot;><a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;NewWindow=window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://mail.optihost.net','WebMail','width=500,height=400')&quot;>[/URL] Webmail</a></span>

Thanks, for the valuable info, Tarwn! I'm a happy camper now.

You could also code it like this:

<span class=&quot;navbar&quot;><a href=&quot;

http://mail.optihost.net&quot;

target=&quot;WebMail&quot; onClick=&quot;NewWindow=window.open('','WebMail','width=500,height=400')&quot;> Webmail</a></span>

Advantage - backwards compatibility. Users who don't have JavaScript/enabled will still be able to access the webmail link in a new browser window. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Kim. I will try this as well.
