need simple JS popup window

[iluvperl]

I had a code once that popped up a new browser window at a custom size without all that browser button junk. It took out the toolbars, bottom bar, etc. It was just a really tiny window.

I need this to be a link though. Anyone have this code handy? Thanks!

I need this to be a link

The only reason you would [!]need[/!] something like this to be a link is if you wanted to cater for those with JS disabled... so having said that, this should work for you:

<a href="someUrl.html" onclick="var winHandle = window.open('', '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">link</a>

If you have JS disabled, the link functions as normal. If JS is enabled, then the popup opens instead.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Add target="_blank" to the link and it'll appear in a new window if you have javascript off.

<a href="someUrl.html" [b]target="_blank"[/b] onclick="var winHandle = window.open('', '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">link</a>

Hi.

Can any of you see why this is opening a window but NOT the link? the link WORKS, I tried it and so can you. But it opens a blank, untitled window instead of my URL.

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spyderscripts.com/cgi-bin/test/scramble.pl?checkword=settler"[/URL] onclick="var winHandle = window.open('', '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">settler</a>, <a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spyderscripts.com/cgi-bin/test/scramble.pl?checkword=sterlet"[/URL] onclick="var winHandle = window.open('', '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">sterlet</a><br/><br/><b>6 characters</b><br/><a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spyderscripts.com/cgi-bin/test/scramble.pl?checkword=letter"[/URL] onclick="var winHandle = window.open('', '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">letter</a>

window.open simply opens a new window - you have to specify the window's URL as a parameter. Using [blue]this.href[/blue] is a convenient way of avoiding typing the same URL multiple times.

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spyderscripts.com/cgi-bin/test/scramble.pl?checkword=settler"[/URL] onclick="var winHandle = window.open([red]this.href[/red], '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">settler</a>, 
<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spyderscripts.com/cgi-bin/test/scramble.pl?checkword=sterlet"[/URL] onclick="var winHandle = window.open([red]this.href[/red], '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">sterlet</a><br/><br/>
<b>6 characters</b><br/>
<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spyderscripts.com/cgi-bin/test/scramble.pl?checkword=letter"[/URL] onclick="var winHandle = window.open([red]this.href[/red], '', 'width=400,height=200'); return(false);">letter</a>

Oops - sorry - my original post had a glaring error which I failed to spot.

The "window.open" should change from this:

window.open([!]''[/!], ...

to this:

window.open([!]this.href[/!], ...

Sorry for the confusion!
