window.open titlebar

[KryptoS]

Hey,

I want to open an image in a popup. So I got this:

<a href="javascript:showImage('test.jpg'">

<script language="javascript">
function showImage(URL) {
window.open(URL,'This is my picture','fullscreen=no...');
}
</script>


But in the popup I always get as title

http://127.0.0.1/mypage/test.jpg

... But I don't want that, I want something like 'This is my picture'.

can someone help me with this?

Make the <title> on the page you want to open whatever you want it to be.

Using your code, you can dynamically change the opened window title like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showImage(URL, title)
{
var newwindow = window.open(URL,'newwindow','fullscreen=no...');
newwindow.document.title = title;
}          
</script>

Hey,

me back again .

I did it like trollacious said in his second post. (I can't use <title> in my popup window)

But the problem is that when I click the link, it show a pop-up still with

http://127.0.0.1/mypage/test.jpg.

When I close the window and click again then still don't get my title.
But when I click to open the popup. And click a second time on the link (without closing the popup) then it gets the title 'my photo'.

So it works, but only if I click 2 times the link? :s

anyone who can help me with this?

Show your code.

this is what the code looks like when I look at the source in internet explorer:

<a href="javascript:showImage('imageloader.php?id=273')"><img src=imageloader.php?id=273 width=50 height=50 border=0></a>
<script language="javascript">
function showImage(URL) {
newwindow =window.open(URL, null,"toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no,statusbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,fullscreen=no,width=300,height=300");
newwindow.document.title = "my photo";
}

Since you're using PHP, why don't you pass the title tot he new page in the URL and write it with PHP?

the problem is that I can't write anything in the imageloader.php (the popup).

this is the code of the imageloader, I just get the image out off a table and print it:

$result = mysql_query(sprintf("SELECT * from tbl_e_images WHERE ImageId = %d", $_GET['id']));
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
header(sprintf("Content-type: %s", $row['FileType']));
print $row['Image'];

the problem I get when I do something like <title> (or whatever text I do in the imageloader-file) is this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\Wamp\

http://www\mypage\imageloader.php:2)

in d:\Wamp\

http://www\mypage\imageloader.php

on line 6

I finnaly discoverd the problem. But I still don't have the solution...

I use :

newwindow =window.open(URL,null, "toolbar=no bla bla");
newwindow.document.title = "my photo";

This sets the title of my popup. The problem is that most of the time the line newwindow.document.title is excecuted before the popup window is open.
So I need to delay the excecution of the second line so that I'm sure that the popup window is open.

any suggestions?

Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I found the same thing. You might try something like this:

newwindow.onload = 'newwindow.document.title = "my photo"';

BillyRayPreachersSon had a great idea to add things to the onload event handler in a recent thread, so you might click on his name on the right and check his responses for the past 10 days or so.

thanks for the information... I'm now using a setTimeout

something like this:

newwindow =window.open(URL,null, "toolbar=no bla bla");
k = setTimeout('setTitle()',100);
function setTitle() {
newwindow.document.title = "my photo";
}
