window module can't be found for window.open

shaunacg · Aug 4, 2003

I have the following code in my HTML page:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
Function emailfriend()
window.open("EmailFriend.html", "Title", "width=450, height=450&quot

End Function
</SCRIPT>

<img src="images/icon-emailfriend.gif" width="56" height="55" border="0" alt="email page to a friend" onClick="emailfriend()">

This does not work for me and results in an error saying that the window module can't be found. Why is this?

Thanks

VBScript does not recognize "window.open". This is a javascript function.

Change it to this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function emailfriend(){
window.open("EmailFriend.html", "Title", "width=450, height=450&quot

}
</SCRIPT>

Hello,

I think window.open is under DOM. It should be and is supported by vbscript.

Under the assumption that (1) <script language="vbscript> and </script> part is placed within the <head> </head>, and (2) <img...> is within the <body></body>, the only work you have to do is to take away the parentheses, if you do not care about or make use of the return code. Hence, all you have to do is to have

window.open "EmailFriend.html", "Title", "width=450, height=450"

Otherwise, the problem lies somewhere else.
