[wdvltalk] Javascript window problem
I need to open a new window which displays some information when a link
is clicked. I have what I think is a straight forward script for doing
that. I tested it, and it works on the three computers I have access
to, but not on my client's computer. It doesn't work for some of his
customers either. Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem may
be? Here's the script, in a table cell:
td width=25% nowrap height=16
font size=2 color=#80 face=Arial
a href=# onclick=javascript: newwindow =
open('http://www.domain.com/info.asp', 'info', 'height=200, width=200,
scrollbars=yes');
newwindow.document.write ('font face=arial
color=#191970For:br%=strFor%/font');
newwindow.focus();See Info/a
/font/td
Thanks,
Diane

Thanks Drew. I am a little unclear (no pun intended) on the clearing, but will do some reading up on it. Riva Drew Trusz wrote: I'm a bit behind in my reading so this is a bit late.

Re: [wdvltalk] Javascript window problem
Diane If your tests fire and run the script directly then you have nothing wrong with your script. The fault, therefore, will lay with your client's computer - either they have a pop-up blocker enabled or they have scripting disabled. That would be my first port of call to work this out. Alternatively, you could always rejig things so your code actually runs inside the new window and resizes it onLoad, then specify a new window as the target of your link. That was you'll get a pop-up window when you click the link then the script will resize that new window. If scripting is disabled you'll still get your pop-up window just not to the correct size.

Re: [wdvltalk] Javascript window problem
Thanks, Ross
If this is being called by clicking on a link, is it a popup window?
Would a popup blocker block it, and if so, would it display an empty
window? Also, all the pages on the site are scripted. I agree it can't
be the code, but I don't know what it CAN be.
I have a table of information that's displayed. One field can be too
long, and my client wants me to replace it with a link to a smaller
pop-up like window that contains the data.
After reading your post, I tried making it a simple link. This should
have need obvious to me from the beginning, just pass the data as a
query string. I don't know how to resize the window though. One of the
html sites I Googled says it can't be done in a function called via
onload. I tried it and the onload function fires just fine *unless* I
add code to resize the window. I've tried window.resizeTo and
self.resizeTo, both stop the function from firing.
So I went back to what I originally had, only I changed it to this:
a href=# onclick=javascript: newwindow = open('info.asp?c=testing',
'info', 'height=200, width=200, scrollbars=yes');see info/a
The line is now totally ignored, no window is displayed.
Any ideas on how to resize the current window as it loads?

Re: [wdvltalk] Link not working in FF
On 6/30/06, Portman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Drew. I am a little unclear (no pun intended) on the clearing, but will do some reading up on it. Riva Two major points about positioning and clearing. First is that absolute and float take elements out of the normal flow of the document. While the placement of such elements is respected, normal content will attempt to fill any gaps left by such non-normal blocks. So when a positioned element doesn't take up the entire width of the document, the normal content will try to squeeze into the empty space. A clear will tell the browser to not do that but instead to drop below the non-normal element. That would be easy to handle. So just to make it interesting, there are times when browsers (yes IE is the most egregious) will decide that floats in particular have no content, no matter what you think you've put in them. Content of such floats are rendered as normal flow, with often astonishing visual results. The cure for that is to put an otherwise empty clear within the float. While it is possible to deal with the discreet conditions which cause this in an elegant fashion you should be forewarned that when IE7 arrives, many of these elegant solutions won't function properly. It's easier to use the industrial strength solution of an empty float element and bare the shame of being accused of classitis or divitis by the purists. A good explanation of floats is found at: http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/ If you want the details of why you have the problem in the first place, this will do http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html There used to be some good pieces on Position is Everything but those articles now seem to be for sale. drew The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

If this is being called by clicking on a link, is it a popup window?
If it's a normal link with target=_blank I don't think so, but a window
opened by Javascript would surely be a popup
snip
So I went back to what I originally had, only I changed it to this:
a href=# onclick=javascript: newwindow = open('info.asp?c=testing',
'info', 'height=200, width=200, scrollbars=yes');see info/a
Maybe it's not causing the problem, but it should be window.open() shouldn't
it? As in:
featureStr = 'width=' + picWide + ',height=' + picHigh;
window.open(imgURL,'newWin', featureStr);
There's also a document.open() function which is for creating a page on the
fly so open() on its own could confuse a browser

Re: [wdvltalk] Javascript window problem
Thank you Ross, and BJ. I kept playing around with it and now it works! I'm not entirely certain what the difference is, but my client and his customers can all see it! Thanks for your help!
