Window Targeting

[charmon_1]

I am trying to open a link in a new window.
I am a javascript beginner.

<script src="/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=881"></script>

The target statement does not work.
Am I missing something.
I tried putting '_blank', and "_blank", and putting target="_blank" outside the src information.

This is an ad program(adcycle) script that is supposed to generate the code to open in a new window but it does not work.

something like

window.open("put url here");

hope that will give your answer

//
if you're trying to use target, that only works for frames in same page.

It is still not working.

<script window.open(/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880);></script>

<script window.open("scr='/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880'");></script>

Any other suggestions.

Thank You.

<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880");
</script>Note that I did not include a noscript tag, as uses without javascript quite possibly turned it off to avoid all the popups...

That one worked, but the link opens up automatically.
I want the user to be able to click the link, then have it pop up in a new window.

Can a onmouseup, or onclick be used here?

Thank You.

Ah, then do it like this:

<a href="/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&amp;target=_blank&amp;id=880" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;">open</a>

Which will continue working for non-JS enabled browsers.

jep

you can do it this way:

<script>
function blaat(){
window.open("url here");
}
</script>

inthe object us: onClick="javascript:blaat();"

or onClick="window.open('url here')"

the first one is in case you want to put in additional scripting like message boxes..

[pyro]

Unfortunatly, neither of those options are accessable... :(

[Shampie]

would it work like this:
<a href="javascript:window.open('/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880')"> ??

[charmon_1]

Thanks but nothing seems to be working.

The script places the text on the page from the ad program, and the link to the ad page.

<script src="/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880"></script>

I think this is what's giving me such a problem trying to do this.

So if I take the src= information and place it in a href= then I have to manually place text between the anchor tags. But the text needs to be generated by the script.

[pyro]

Only if javascript is enabled. Use the method I posted above to keep the links accessable to non-JavaScript enabled browsers:

<a href="/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;">open</a>

<script src="/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880"></script>

is cgi a valid script file for javascript?
<script language="javascript" src="="/cgi-bin/cycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=5&target=_blank&id=880"></script>

I know it does work of .js extensions (javascipt files)

sorry for rather putting another question between then an answer but it's like learn while trying to me aswell..
