opening windows 1

[gojohnnygogogogo]

hello,

If I use javascript to open a new window it works fine, but then if I use the same code to open another window from the window just opened, it opens the new window in the previous window.

(how many times can you say window in one sentance!)

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:window.open('./view.asp', 'title', 'toolbars=no, height=500, width=450')&quot;>

How can I modify the above code to open a new window, instead of reusing already opened windows ?

hope you understand that,!
thanks

Make sure to give the new window a different name!

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:window.open('./view.asp', 'newTitle', 'toolbars=no, height=500, width=450')&quot;>

If you use the same name, JS thinks that you are using the same object again....

Hi Johnnygogogogo

I can't get that to work either, but if you use a simple javascript popup function and call the function from the link, then it will work.

eg put this in your first page:

<script>

function openpopup(){

var popurl=&quot;woo2.htm&quot;

winpops=window.open(popurl,&quot;&quot;,&quot;width=375,height=308,&quot

}

</script>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;openpopup()&quot;>hello</a>

then in the second page put exactly the same script, but just change the popurl to the location of your third popup page and that will work.

excellent thank you for the help.

Changing the title to a newtitle has worked.
