Hi again,
Ok, I really need help with this, and although the tutorial and forums are a great help, they haven't answered my question yet.
I've got 3 flash banners on my website (http://www.mycasinonline.biz). 2 on my main.html and 1 in links.html. My index.html is cut into frames and this code i'm showing you is in the main frame. I need the banners to open in a new window, but they open in the main frame instead. I've also posted below some fixes ive already tried and the results of each. All 3 script is setup in this format right now:


<script language='Javascript'>
function geturl() { window.location='http://webmaster.windowscasino.com/affiliates/
aiddownload.asp?affid=1234' }
</script>
<OBJECT> My Flash Object, very long code</OBJECT>


I tried using
Function window.open ()
in the above text and got the same result
also tried Function window.open.top () thinking it would open in parent overtop the frames, but it still opened in the main frame

I've tried using this format

<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body
<a href="javascript:opener()"> <object> blah blah blah </object></a>

this code crashed the browser when opened (which blew me away). no errors, IE just opened... then closed (crashed). Wierd

I even tried a standard html code
<a href="http://webmaster.windowscasino.com/affiliates/
aiddownload.asp?affid=1234" target="_blank">
<object>blah blah blah</object></a>
this still opened in the main frame, which didn't make sense to me.

None of it seams to work. Props to the author of the javascript tutorial, though. I got a much better understanding this stuff now. (even thought I'm still totally lost) :D

Please Help?

html way:
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>
JS way (note the quotes):

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com','childWin','');return false;">Google</a>

<a href="#" onclick="window.open
('http://webmaster.windowscasino.com/affiliates/aiddownload.asp?
affid=1234','childWin','');return false;"><object></object></a>

Syntax looks right, and you do not need that in your heading.

Why don't you try coding in your flash file?

Huh??? What do you mean? :confused:

This works for me...

onclick=javascript:window.open("http://cheers-sendai.com","child","")

maybe it could be better to do this in your flash - but I don't know a thing about that .:o

Took a look at your link. You can try changing your geturl() function to window.open() instead of window.location

Ok, lets try this, on my index.html, in the lower frame (main.html), I will edit the first flash banner with BonRouge's suggestion. For the second flash banner at the bottom of the page I will edit to match javanoobie's suggestion. then, I will upload both to my ftp for all to see. Give me bout 20 min to compleate this and then Enter here (http://www.mycasinonline.biz) to see the results. View my source to verify the changes were made. Try the banner links to see if they work. I ofcource will do the same. I just think it might make is easier if we all can see and interact with the problem I'm facing.

And Thank You Again for all your help.

Here are the changes right off the source code off my website. the first one don't work at all, as you can see.

the second doesn't work at all either.

I'm being such a pain in the butt, I know. You can tell me to stick it whenever you wan't. My feelings won't be hurt. But, if you can help me solve this, I will forever be in your dept.

What I meant was this:

function geturl(){
window.open('http://webmaster.windowscasino.com/affiliates/aiddownload.asp?affid=1234','childWin','')
}

Thank you,

I've deceided to start over and just revamp my site. The frames just cause more problems than they fix. I've ordered Topstyle 3.10, and I'm going to convert to xhtml and see if I can't clean it up. Look for my new site in the review forum. Thank you again for all your help.
