javascript window and array value

[jordan11]

Hi,
I would like to open a new window with the results of an array.
can anyone tell me how to can be. This is what I have so far

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function viewdetails() {
var theURL = '< & arrLog(0,i) & >';
window.open(theURL,'checkLog','width=780,height=300,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
}
//-->
</script>


But I get the error bad url.

Can anyone help.

Thanks in advance

That usually happens when you try to open the URL "< & arrLog(0,i) & >"

What does your array contain?

Cheers,

I want to display the contents of a email message so when the user clicks details a window opens and the email messsage is shown. At the moment I have a title so when you put the mouse over some of the message is displayed but I want the contents to show in a open window instead.

Thanks

I have posted some more info so you have some light on what I am trying to do.
I have an array of the results from my database table and at the moment I want to display the contents of a email message so when the user clicks details a window opens and the email messsage is shown.

For i = 0 to numLog
	Response.Write("<tr valign=""top""><td nowrap>" & tidyDate(arrLog(1,i)) & "</td><td nowrap>" & arrLog(2,i) & "</td><td nowrap><b><a href=""mailto:" & arrLog(3,i) & """>" & arrLog(3,i) & "</a></b></td><td nowrap align=""center"">" & arrLog(4,i) & "</td><td>" & arrLog(5,i) & " - <a href=""#"" title=""" & arrLog(6,i) & """ onClick=""viewdetails('" & arrLog(0,i) & "');"">details</a></td><td nowrap><input name=""counterID"" type=""hidden"" value=""" & arrLog(0,i) & """></td></tr>" & vbCrLf)
Next

this will give the first item.
no idea what is "i" doing in your code, post more code if you want more help.[/QUOTE]

function viewdetails() {
	var theURL = arrLog[0];
	window.open(theURL,'checkLog','width=780,height=300,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
}

I changed the array to var theURL = arrLog[0]; but the window does not open I just get a error on page message. Could this have anything to do with the fact that the window with array results I am trying to open is already in a window?

Thanks

I repeat the question: what does arrLog[0] contain?

arrLog[0] should be arrLog[6] which contains the email message from the database.

Thanks

From your code, it appears to contain just the subject od the email.

basically what is happening is someone clicks on a link that opens a window with contains the date, name , email, and email message, I then want them to be able to click on details and open another window that shows the contains of the info in the details, at the moment if I put the mouse over I can see the the email message as I have a title based on the code below which is the body.

<td>" & arrLog(5,i) & " - <a href=""#"" title=""" & arrLog(6,i) & """ onClick=""viewdetails('" & arrLog(6,i) & "');"">details</a></td>

I added

onClick=""viewdetails

to call

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function viewdetails() {
	var theURL = arrLog[0];
	window.open(theURL,'checkLog','width=780,height=300,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
}
//-->
</script>

which is the head of my code.

I do not have to use this method I could only think of using javascript to open a new window.

Thanks

Thanks for your help but I have managed to work it out.

A nice practice is to share your success so other can use it.

I created file called "text.asp" with the code below:

<%
Response.Write(Request("text"))
%>

changed the javascript as shown below and everything worked fine.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function viewdetails(strText) {
	window.open("text.asp?text="+strText, "checkLog", "width=780,height=30  0,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes");
}
</script>
