Hi

I've been trying to work out a tool for some very inexperienced users to use to generate new pages for a site within a fairly simple format. I'm having trouble with using document.write to create the javascript to open a further new window to show an image. I've as far as this:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- hide

function openWin() {
newWin=open("", "displayWindow",
"width=600,height=400,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scroll=yes,status=yes");

// open document for further output
newWin.document.open();

// create document
newWin.document.write('<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n<TITLE>New Window 1</TITLE>\n');


// START OF SCRIPT FOR NEW PAGE
newWin.document.writeln('<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"; LANGUAGE="JavaScript">');
newWin.document.writeln('<!-'+'-hide');
newWin.document.writeln('function openWin() {');


newWin.document.writeln('newWin=open("picture.html","displaywindow",width=300,height=300,toolbar=yes,menubar

=yes,scroll=yes)\n');
newWin.document.writeln('}\n\n');
newWin.document.writeln('//'+'-->');
newWin.document.writeln('</SC'+'RIPT>\n');
//END OF SCRIPT FOR NEW PAGE




newWin.document.write('</HEAD>\n<BODY>\n');

newWin.document.write('<TABLE>\n<TR>\n<TD>\n');
newWin.document.write('<A HREF=javascript:onClick="openWin()">window3</A>\n');
newWin.document.write('</TD>\n</TR>\n</TABLE>\n');


newWin.document.write('</BODY>\n</HTML>');

newWin.document.close();
}

//-->

</SCRIPT>


</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="clickme" onClick="openWin()">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I can't for the life of me spot the flaw in the code this generates but the link in the new (2nd) window when clicked just writes *openWin()* in itself rather than opening another new (3rd) window. I would also appreciate knowing if this works in other browsers 'cos I'm doing this at work where all I have is IE6 on win2k.
Thanx

there were a few faults like <a href=javascriptonClick=... instead of <a href="#" onClick= and a syntax error..

try out this:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- hide

function openWin() {
newWin=open("", "displayWindow"," width=600,height=400,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scroll=yes,status=yes");

// open document for further output
newWin.document.open();

// create document
newWin.document.write('<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n<TITLE>New Window 1</TITLE>\n');


// START OF SCRIPT FOR NEW PAGE
newWin.document.writeln('<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"; LANGUAGE="JavaScript">');
newWin.document.writeln('<!-'+'-hide');
newWin.document.writeln('function openWin() {');


newWin.document.writeln('newWin=open("picture.html","displaywindow","width=300,height=300,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scroll=yes")\n');
newWin.document.writeln('}\n\n');
newWin.document.writeln('//'+'-->');
newWin.document.writeln('</SC'+'RIPT>\n');
//END OF SCRIPT FOR NEW PAGE




newWin.document.write('</HEAD>\n<BODY>\n');

newWin.document.write('<TABLE>\n<TR>\n<TD>\n');
newWin.document.write('<A HREF="#" onClick="openWin()">window3</A>\n');
newWin.document.write('</TD>\n</TR>\n</TABLE>\n');
newWin.document.write('</BODY>\n</HTML>');
newWin.document.close();
}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

Hi swon

tried your version, got 'error on page' (1st window). I'm actually finishing work now so it will be a while before I can come back to this - currently not on line at home as moving about. Be back some time in the early hours (GMT) tomorrow.

Thanks all the same.

The forum breaks the lines, be sure that no document.write line is broken:

winopen.document.write("lkajsdlkasl
kjalklak");

should be:
winopen.document.write("lkajsdlkaslkjalklak");
