open new window problem..

[jeanpaul]

I try to open a new window with this link but it returns an error: return statement out of function.

Here's the code;

<A onClick=window.open('

http://www.altavista.com','bd','resizable=1,scrollbars=yes,width=770,height=400')

HREF=&quot;javascript: return false&quot;>

Please submit a correct code. I am very bad at javascript.

Thanks!

Try this .. instead of the code HREF=&quot;javascript: return false&quot; try

HREF=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot;

Greg.

thank you very much!

and btw, the cleaner/easier/proper/more logical way to do so would be :
<a href=&quot;javascript:window.open(....)&quot;>...</a>
no onclick required as it's already handled here

Watch out using window.open - the launching page will often wait for a response causing it to go blank ([object]).

Hi,

jjdm, I was reading your response there... could you explain this to me? I think I'm having the exact problem which you described in your message but I have no idea how to solve it. I posted my problem a couple posts before but no one responded.

I'd appreciate any help, even if it were some direction on where I could read up on it myself. Thanks!
