open new popup window

[m79asz]

instead of opening a page in the same browser window, I want to open the url (e.g. beh.html) in a popup window. How can I change my script that way?


<script type="text/javascript">
function buildArray()
{
var a = buildArray.arguments;

for ( var i=0; i<a.length; i++ )
{
this = a;
}

this.length = a.length;
}


var urls1 = new buildArray("",
"beh.html",
"gen.html");

function go ( which, num, win )
{
var n = which.selectedIndex;

if ( n != 0 )
{
var url = eval ( "urls" + num + "[n]" )
if ( win )
{
openWindow ( url );
}
else
{
location.href = url;
}
}
}


</script>
<form name="form1">

<select name="menu1" onchange="go(this, 1, false)">
<option>OPEN
<option>BEH
<option>GEN
</select>

</form>

Can you provide the code for your

openWindow

method, also worth noting that :

1. You should not use

EVAL

in your code
2. You HTML should also be valid

so

<option>GEN

should be :

<option>GEN</option>

Use window.open(); instead of location.href to open the window. Beware though, that some popup blockers may block it if they think its an unwanted popup.

window.open(url,"Windown Name","attribute1, attribute2,...");
