open.window

[charter]

Can any of you gurus please help?

I have a script on a webpage to open an new window of a certain size.

If I want all the pages of the website to open the same size do I have to put the script on every page?

I want the pages to open in this same window.

All Help much appreciated

I would create a function to handle all the windows on that page like this.


_________________

<script langauge="javascript">

function open(url){

window.open(url,"WindowName","height=300,width=400")

}

</script>

You then call it in the link or button..

<a href="javascript:open('http://www.yoursite.com');">Click here for your site</a>


Hope that helps.. :thumbsup:

Might want to rethink that. open() isn't the best name for a top-level function to open a browser window by calling, erm, window.open(). Other names available.

charter: when you've got the function you want, you can put it in a separate .js file written into every page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>

If it's just the one function, however, this might be overkill.

Your right cheese,,


<script langauge="javascript">

function go(url){

window.open(url,"WindowName","height=300,width=400")

}

</script>

You then call it in the link or button..

<a href="javascript:go('http://www.yoursite.com');">Click here for your site</a>

<a href="javascript:void go('http://www.yoursite.com');">Click here for your site</a>

Keeps your main page.

...or better, like this so that it will degrade well for javascript disabled browsers.

<script langauge="javascript">
function go(url,target){
window.open(url,target,"height=300,width=400")
return false;//cancels href if called on <a> tag
}
</script>

You then call it in a link:

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com" target="WindowName" onclick="return go(this.href,this.target)">Click here for your site</a>

or in a button:

<input type="button" value="Open" onclick="go('http://www.yoursite.com','WindowName')">
