popup window wouldn't work

bench · Mar 30, 2001

Hi
can anyone show me how to open multiple popup window
using myWin.open() in both IE5&N4. This is how I want
it to work. I have a select box which will allow my user
to select multiple sites. After the selection,
I want to popup those sites base upon their preference.
However, when i select, let say 2 sites, my program
will popup six sites which is the same amount of sites
in my select box and that's not what i want.

This is the code i been working with:

<html>
<head><title>Assignment#5</title>

Code:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--

function go()
{       
        var myCars=window.document.myForm.mySites
        
        for (var i=0 ; i < myCars.length ; i++)
        {

            if (myCars.options[i].selected) 
       URL= &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://&quot;;+myCars.options[/URL][i].value;

var myWind=open(URL,'goCars','height=400,width=400,toolbar=no')
  myWind.focus()
        
  }
}

//-->
</script>

</head>
<body bgColor=lightblue>
<form name='myForm'>

<select name='mySites' multiple size=5 >
<option value='

http://www.bmw.com'>

BMW </option>
<option value='

http://www.volkswagen.com'>

Volkswagen </option>
<option value='

http://www.ford.com'>

Ford </option>
<option value='

http://www.honda.com'>

Honda </option>
<option value='

http://www.volvo.com'>

Volvo </option>
</select>
<br>
<input type=button value='show selected' onclick='go()'>
</form>
</body>

</html>

try asking if .selected == true

not positive on that one, but it's worth a shot. (=

I tried your suggestion, but this time it only open one window
when i select 2 window.

Code:

function go()
{
        var myCars=window.document.myForm.mySites
        var URL;
        for (var i=0 ; i < myCars.length ; i++)
        {

            if (myCars.options[i].selected==true)
               

       URL= &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://&quot;+myCars.options[/URL][i].value;

       var myWind=open(URL,'goCars','height=400,width=400,toolbar=no')
  myWind.focus()

}

}

I wonder if you giving each window the same ID could be causing the problem???

try dynamically creating an id for each like

windowID = 'goCars'+i
(URL,windowID,'height=400,width=400,toolbar=no')

again, not sure... but it doesn't look like anyone else is bursting with suggestions.

I tried your suggestion, but it only open one window when
I select two.
Is there a way I can stop the loop when the user say, select 2 sites
from my select box.
I think that's the problem I'm having.
