Poping up a new window without user action

darkom · Nov 1, 2000

Hi !

My question is : How do you popup a new browser window without user action. I want to trigger this in an if.

Something like this :
if (soandso)
{
window.open()
}

The only way I know how to open a new window is with :
<INPUT TYPE='button' VALUE='VoirRésultat' OnClick="window.open('../html/WDJTest.html','Résultat1','width=400,height=200,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,copyhistory=no,resizable=no')">

put the code in the head and a window will popup, or put the code in a function and activate it with the onLoad event handler.
<head>
<script>
if (soandso){
window.open()}
</script>
</head>

or

<head>
<script>
function open();{
if (soandso){
window.open()}}
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="open()">

good luck
