Bug ID: 12708
Summary: Unexpected behaviour in IE 9 and lower when using
openWindow
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha

OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

Currently, we use a Javascript function called "openWindow" in staff-global.js
as a bit of a helper function for executing "window.open".
Well, there is a problem with the "name" argument when using IE 9 and lower. If
the "name" has a space or certain punctuation (NOT including underscores),
it'll throw an error which causes unexpected behaviours.
For instance, if you open "Help" in the staff client using IE 9 or lower, it'll
open the help page into the current window rather than a pop-up, which is far
from desirable.
I've noticed after a few greps that we usually use an alphabetic string with no
spaces or punctuation when using the "name" parameter for window.open.
According to Mozilla
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.open), this is the
recommended way of writing a "name".
There are only a few instances where "openWindow" seems to use a string
containing spaces for "name".
The best thing to do is probably fix those instances as well as add a try/catch
in openWindow for times where someone makes a mistake.
