Ah! That's where I've gone wrong. I knew what I had was all a big
cock-up. I did look at the API first, but still couldn't manage to get
it to work right. My click function worked just fine (though I know that
the "var handle" bit isn't strictly necessary), it's just that *all* of
my <a href...> tags were opening via the .click function and not just
the couple I wanted.
The class isn't one that really exists in a .css file or anything, but
just something I added in an attempt to do what you've now explained to
me how to do. I had originally had an ID on each of the <a> tags that I
wanted opening up in this special way. If I've got this right now, I
could do something like:
$("a#newWindow").click(function{});
Is that right? I think I'd rather not use a class, since one doesn't
really exist that's called "newWindow" (I just arbitrarily put that
class on the certain A tags in one of many attempts to get the syntax
correct. So, I think the ID on each tag would be better. Have I got that
right?
Cheers,
Chris

Wait, I'm confused...
What does .newWindow relate too? The code you're using has jQuery
looking for A within .newWindow... Are you trying to find all the A
tags with a class of newwindow? If so, the constructer would be
$("a.newWindow"). jQuery uses CSS syntax to target things, so if
you're unfamiliar with how to select an element with a class, I'd
suggest doing some googling on it or read the jQuery.com pages on
Expressions.
Second, you've constructed the click() function wrong... you don't
need the var handle = bit... function () { window.open(this.href,
'some_target', 'width=550, height=550'); } is all you need.

This should be a quick one.
I know there's a way to do this, but it escapes me at this time.
I've got a few <a href...> tags on my screen, and I want some of them
to open in the same window and some to open in a pop up, sized
specifically.
Here's what I've got so far:
<script>
$(document).ready(
function (){$("a", ".newWindow").click(
function(){
// there's more than just width and height, but you get
the idea.
var handle = window.open(this.href, 'some_target',
'width=550, height=500');
});
});
</script>
I've tried this same idea with the following changes:
... $("a", "#newWindow").click(...
and
... $("a", newWindow).click(...
and
... $("#newWindow", "a").click(...
and
... $(".newWindow", "a").click(...
and
etc., etc., etc.
Where am I going wrong. So far in my jQuery experience, I've only had
need to find elements by their class, element type, or ID. But not a
combination of those. Can someone please hit me with the correct
syntax? Hit me hard, so I don't forget it next time. :o)
Cheers,
Chris
