one click, two urls. 1

[PTmon]

Hi, I need a little help. I have a download page where people can choose from several brochures (PDF's). When they click on the brochure, I want it to pop open a new window with the PDF, and the background brochure page to switch to a thank you page. Here's what I tried:

<a target="_blank" href="brochures/#strFilename#" onClick="parent.frames[0].location.href='brochuresThankYou.cfm';">#strTitle#</a>

(Brochure listings are being fed from a database via coldfusion, that's why the #'s.)

Thanks in advance!

Do you have an iframe or frameset that you're not mentioning? It would affect the way that the code would work.

Incidentally, what about the people with JavaScript disabled? What should happen for them?

Hi Dan,
No iframes, no frames at all. Just the background page going to a thank you page, and the PDF popping up. For people without javascript, I can live with them just getting the PDF. basically the thank you page will be tranking my google ppc campaign.
Thanks!

OK - I asked because you had a reference to frames on your code. Try this for size:

<a href="brochures/#strFilename#" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', ''); this.href = 'brochuresThankYou.cfm';" target="_blank">#strTitle#</a>

Hope this helps,
Dan

Ooops - that should have been:

<a href="brochures/#strFilename#" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', ''); this.href = 'brochuresThankYou.cfm'; this.target = '';" target="_blank">#strTitle#</a>
