Ah! Great explanation, thank you :) . Unfortunately, when I do
window.new it opens (obviously) a new window (or tab) that is not
limited to the main browser's window, which is what I desire. It's
literally another browser window. What you described with history(-1)
is perfect! However, at the moment my code looks like the following:
win1 = new Window('browser', {className: "alphacube", width:600,
height:400, zIndex: 100, title: "Google", resizable: true,
showEffect:Element.show, hideEffect: Effect.SwitchOff, draggable:
true, url: "http://www.google.com"})
win1.showCenter(null, <%= x+40 %>, <%= y+40 %>);
It seems that if I attempted to put HTML in, at least in the way I'm
trying:
win1.getContent().innerHTML= "Now is the time for every good man..."
It's not working in the least. Having the url option in the window
clobbers it. I kind of expected that... but is there a way to use a
url combined with whatever html I desire? Thanks for your help :) .
