simple small question; pop up window; correct this 1

JeroenB · Apr 18, 2001

Hi,

can someone help me out with this. In this message I' ve included the script of a popup window; the problem is now that I only want to let appear the main page(=popup window), by clicking on a link (for instance : plugin installed) in the start page (which has ths script). So can someone correct this script please ?

Thanks in advance
Jeroen B

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
netscape = "main.htm"; // set your browser pages
explorer = "main.htm";
unknown = "main.htm";

windowprops = "top=0,left=0,resizable=yes"
+ ",width=" + 635 + ",height=" + 740;

ns = (navigator.appName == 'Netscape');
ie = (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer');
url = (!ns & !ie) ? unknown : ( ns ? netscape : explorer);
window.open(url, "popupPage", windowprops);
// End -->
</script>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
</body>
</html>

Well, you can leave all the initialization - but take the piece of code out which actually does the opening and put it in a function called from the link.

Allthough apparently it is a good idea to clean out the global space, so any variables which don't need to be global,like windowprops - plonk them in the function too.

<script>
function newWindow(){
netscape = "main.htm"; // set your browser pages
explorer = "main.htm";
unknown = "main.htm";
windowprops = "top=0,left=0,resizable=yes"
+ ",width=" + 635 + ",height=" + 740;

url = (!ns & !ie) ? unknown : ( ns ? netscape : explorer);
window.open(url, "popupPage", windowprops);

}
</script>

<a href="javascript:newWindow()">Open</a>
