Hi everyone... first time here... hope I can get some help with my issue I am having.

I have a .js file that contains the following code:

============================

function openlink() {
perfectwidth = screen.availwidth - 5;
window.open('http://www.websiteaddress.com/frameset.html?' + this.href, this.host.replace(/\./gi, '').replace(/:/gi, ''), 'width='+perfectwidth+',height='+screen.availheight+',scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,status=no');
return false;
}

function setlinkfunction() {
for (temp=0; temp<document.links.length; temp++) {
document.links[temp].onclick = openlink;
}
}

window.onload = setlinkfunction;

============================

I use the code above to open the following links on my page to another window that contains a small frame. The links that open up into the new window look like this:

<a target=_new onMouseOver="window.status='Click here for more information.';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true"
href=http://www.websiteaddress.com><i>Website Title</i></a></b><br><font size=-1>Website Description</font>

Works great.... however, there are some links on the page that I have as regular links, i.e. <a HREF="http://www.websiteaddress.com">Link Description</a> that I DO NOT want to open up to the frame.

Is there something I need to add to the .js file, or is there something I can simply add to the links I do not want to open up into the new window and frame?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Dave.

Thank you for your quick reply.

The target="_self" didn't work with the links I didn't want to open up into a new frame.

Any other suggestions? Your help is really appreciated.

Thanks again.

Would your suggestion be that I rewrite the .js file?

Hi Dave,

I am still uncertain what you mean about target property.

I modified the code you provided (Thank you by the way Dave), however, I have three problems now.

First, it shows done, but with errors on page.

Second, it does open the links with the onclick code, but it does not display the frame.

Third, I don't need the target="__self" as it does not open the links into new windows, but does display an error notification (done, but with error on page). I did try it with and without target="_self" and it shows the error, but hey, it doesn't open up into a new page.

I am just stuck. I have been reviewing this code all day. It shouldn't be this hard should it?

Thanks for all your help.

Michael

P.S. I have included what my other files are.. I hope this will solve the mystery.

Top Frame: top.html
=====================
<html>
<head>
<title>frameset top</title>
<script>
function removeframe() {
parent.document.location.href = parent.targeturl;
}

a:hover {text-decoration: underline}

My error logs for my website show:

The file does not exist:

It displays my links, but it has this on the end:
+ listings[i].uri +


example:

http://www.website.com/links/+ listings[i].uri +


In IE 6.0, it cames up as a syntax error when loading the page. I have the option enabled to display notification of every script error.

Hope this helps.
