Popups inMozilla

[steve100]

Hi all this my problem:

I want to create a pop-up link to display RFT files.

This pop-up should always open in a new window (a web convention)

I don't want to use target="blank" (not valid xml)



Attempted solution 1:

If I simply omit the target attribute like so:

<a href=&quot;test.rtf&quot;>rtf document</a></body>

A new application window opens in Mozilla, but in IE the RTF opens in the same window.

Attempted solution 2:

Use Javascript to open a new window for IE but not for Mozilla

<a href=&quot;test.rtf&quot; onclick=&quot;browserTest(this.href);return false&quot;>rtf document</a></body>

<script>
<!--



function browserTest (c)

{
bname=navigator.appName
if (bname.indexOf(&quot;Netscape&quot!=-1)
{
newWindowMoz(c);
}
if (bname.indexOf(&quot;Microsoft&quot!=-1)
{
newWindowIE(c);
}
}


function newWindowIE(c)

{
window.open(c,'openwindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=yes,status=yes resizable=yes');
}


function newWindowMoz(c)

{

}

Result: Window doesn't open in Mozilla. I also tried opening then closing the window in Moz but the window remained open:

function newWindowMoz(c)

{
window.open(c,'openwindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=yes,status=yes resizable=yes');
openwindow.close();
}

</script>


Does any of you Javascript gurus know how to do this properly?

Many thanks
Steve

I've had another go - this script works in IE and Mozilla but not Opera!

<script>
<!--



function browserTest (c)

{
bname=navigator.appName
if (bname.indexOf(&quot;Netscape&quot!=-1)
{
newWindowMoz(c);
}
if (bname.indexOf(&quot;Microsoft&quot!=-1)
{
newWindowIE(c);
}
}


function newWindowIE(c)

{
window.open(c,'openwindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=yes,status=yes resizable=yes');
}


function newWindowMoz(c)

{
window.location(c);
document.open(&quot;test.rtf&quot;
}

</script>

Any Opera experts out there?
