how can i get document.location.href to target new browser window? 1

bluetang · Mar 27, 2003

I'm currently using:

<body onLoad="javascript:window.print();document.location.href='nextpage.cfm'">

to print a page and then redirect the user to the next page without them having to do anything.

i'd like to open the next page in a new browser window, but i'm really new to javascript and i can't figure out how.

any ideas would be most appreciated

thanks

use window.open() instead with a window name of "_blank"

bluetang, here ya go:

<body onLoad="javascript:window.print();window.open('nameOFfile.html')">

No need to add the name="_blank", because the window.open syntax opens in a new window...
