Getting document links

[AaronBeau]

I have a page that I want to open 5 different pages one at a time, after it opens the page I want it to pop up an alert displaying the the second link from the links[] array from that page.

Here is the code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function openSites() {

var openOneAtATime=new Array()
openOneAtATime[0]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ebay.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[1]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[2]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.cnn.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[3]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[4]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.amazon.com"[/URL]

var i=0;
for (i=0;i<openOneAtATime.length;i++) {
    setTimeout("WindowObjectReference = window.open(openOneAtATime[i],"window1")",5000);

    setTimeout("alert(window1.links[1])",5000*(i+.8));

    setTimeout("WindowObjectReference.close()",5000*(i+1.2))
    }
}
</script>

I tried:
setTimeout("alert(window1.links[1])",5000*(i+.8));
and
setTimeout("alert(WindowObjectReference.links[1])",5000*(i+.8));

but neither worked.

But you're making the same mistakes...

Read that carefully again,... every apostrophe, quotes, where the declaration of variable be placed,... are important - no exaggeration. You've to understand why the revisions were made and what are the difference.

sorry, i just copied and pasted from the other post....i made all those changes and that worked.

But i want to add new functionality, which i cannot get to work.

the new piece of code is:
setTimeout("alert(window1.links[1])",5000*(i+.8));

if it is just
setTimeout("alert(links[1])",5000*(i+.8));

it works but displays the link from the original page not the newly opened page.

I have made some progress....
it seems that if i do

setTimeout("alert(ecKillWindow.document.links[1])",5000*(i+0.3));

it will give me the results of the second link on the page ONLY IF the page is located on the same domain; however, if I try to get the links from a page that isn't part of the same domain I am getting an error:

Error: Permission denied to get property Window.document

That's a javascript security restriction.

Cheers,

Is there anyway to work around this security restriction?
