pop up window

[Anja]

Can anybody recommend a script for a pop up window (specified size) that works in IE5+ as well as Netscape 4+?

<a href="http://www.w3.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'height=400,width=300'); return false">W3C</a>

trhe line below will open a window

<a href="http://www.w3c.org" onclick="window.open('http://www.w3c.org','newWin','width=400,height=300');return false;">Open W3c In New Window</a>

Thanks for the scripts. Is there a possibility to have the pop up window open in the middle of the screen? Again, it needs to work both in IE5+ and Netscape 4+.

use this one

onclick="window.open('thewindow.html','newWin','width=150,height=130,top=525,left=800,dependent=yes,alwaysRai sed=yes,resizable=1')" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Edit Text"></a>

let me know is it ok

That will only work if the screen is 1900 x 1310 pixels in size and it will give you unacceptable results in Opera - sometimes. And the A element has no "alt" attribute.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function newWin (url, height, width) {
if (navigator.appName == 'Opera') return true;
var geom = 'scrollbars';
geom += ',height=' + height;
geom += ',width=' + width;
geom += ',top=' + Math.round((screen.height - height) / 2);
geom += ',left=' + Math.round((screen.width - width) / 2);
window.open (url, 'child', geom);
return false;
}
// -->
</script>

<a href="http://www.w3.org/" onclick="return newWin (this.href, 400, 300)">W3C</a>

Hi Charles

I tried your code and it works fine in IE6, but in Netscape® Navigator 4.08 I get this message:

HTTP Error 404
404 Not Found

Here is the URL to the page: http://www.nsw.redcross.org.au/pages/g3wineclub_2.html
The link is "Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Hunter Chardonnay 2000".

That's a bit odd. Are you sure that version of Netscape can find the page when you remove the JavaScript?

i agreed with charles im sure that u wont get any Jscript error in netscape

Hi Anja,

The 404 error isn't coming from the newWin script; it's coming from the style sheet of your requested page. NS4.x will report a 404 error if you link to an external style sheet that doesn't exist. I.E., in the page you are loading in the new window you have this:


<link rel="stylesheet" href="../styles.css">
<title>Australian Red Cross NSW Wine Club</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">


It's the second reference to styles.css that's triggering the problem, there isn't a copy of that file in the same directory as the page and thus the 404 is triggered.

Cheers!

Thanks guys!
It was indeed the missing style sheet link that caused the error in Netscape.
