[wdvltalk] RE: Need help getting a grandchild window to open in 4 X Netscape

[Cymbala, Greg]

Give each window a different name -- the second parameter in the
window.open() method.  Also, looks like you have some code that might not
execute -- don't use two onClick attributes and put the return false
statement at the end of the onClick event handler.

  For example:

CODE FROM PARENT:

<a href="#"
onClick="window.open('someurl','ChildWindow','yourwindowoptions');exit=false
">[...]</a>

CODE FROM CHILD:

<a href="#"
onClick="window.open('someotherurl','GrandChildWindow','yourwindowoptions');
self.close();return false;">[...]</a>

Subject: [wdvltalk] Need help getting a grandchild window to open in 4X
Netscape


I have several windows that open perfectly from parent windows using
window.open   However, when I use window.open from the child windows to
open a grandchild window I can't get it to work properly in Netscape 4X. 
What happens is the grandchild opens in the existing window insteading of
opening in a new one.  It works, however, in all later versions of Netscape
and IE.

Anyone know how to resolve this or why Netscape reacts that way?  (ps...
When I open the child window by typing in the URL (effectively making it a
parent) the grandchild window opens fine.)  I'm sure baffled.

CODE FROM PARENT:

<a href="#"
onClick="window.open('http://www.buildsuccessfast.com/giftoffer_click.html',
'','toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,left=0,top=0,screenX=0,
screenY=0,height=465,width=378')" onclick="exit=false"><img
src="http://buildsuccessfast.com/graphics/bonusgiftclickhere.gif"; border=0
align=right valign=top hspace=28 vspace=4></a>


Now the child window is open.  CODE FROM CHILD:

<a href="#"
onClick="window.open('https://QuickPayPro.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?adminid=2676
&pid=7925&quickbuy=1','','toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=1,resizable=no,le
ft=0,top=0,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=640');return
false;window.close();"><IMG
src="http://buildsuccessfast.com/graphics/orderonlinenow93x14.gif"; border=0
vspace=5></a>

See???  Nothing weird.  Please advise.
