Use link code for button in text link?

[sanjuT]

I have this code for a button:

<input type="submit" name="Submit52222" value="Items" onClick ="NewWin=window.open('foodReception.html');return false;">

Is there a way to use this code for a text link instead of a form button?

I tried:

<a href= javascript:"NewWin=window.open('foodReception.html')";return false;>test</a>

But that didn't work.

I'm using Netscape 4.7x.

THANKS!!!!

The reason it didn't work at all is because it's not quite the same. Take a close look at your quote marks. You should also put your script in an event handler so it will still work without scripting enabled.<a href="foodReception.html" onclick="NewWin = window.open('foodReception.html'); return false;">test</a>

You can also do this:

<a href="foodReception.html" onclick="NewWin=window.open(this.href); return false;">test</a>

I have another related question:

using:

<a href="foodBreak1.html" onClick="NewWin=window.open(this.href); return false;">Items:</a>

am I able to set the size and position of the new window?

I know how to do it if i call a function, just wondering if i could do it by manipulating this piece of code.

THANKS!

<a href="foodBreak1.html" onClick="NewWin=window.open(this.href,'new_win','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes'); return false;">Items:</a>

[sanjuT]

when i use:

<a href="foodBreak1.html" onClick="NewWin=window.open(this.href,'new_win','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=ye
s,menubar=yes'); return false;">


the new page loads in the same window, and it is not adjusted for size.

A small error somewhere?

this. href

should be:

this.href

Notice the space you have.

[sanjuT]

funny how that pasted, i checked my code and i do not have the space...weird..

[Jona]

Well, then the code should work (without the space). If it doesn't, you can just do window.open() and forget the variable, "NewWin" altogether.

[sanjuT]

uhhh, i made a stupid mistake...when i was looking at my code, a place that i thought was a word wrap was actually a space..duhh!

i took out the NewWin anyways..it works for me now.

THANKS!!! u have been a great help these past few days!
