opening multiple urls using window.open function

**AHendersonWebDe** · 11-17-2008 02:08 PM

Greetings:
I'm trying to creating a function which allows me to enter the url link in the body of the code when calling the window.open function.

Currently my code is written as followed...

Code:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
function poponload()
{
testwindow= window.open ("", "mywindow","location=no,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,directories=0,width=750,height=550");
testwindow.moveTo(25,40);
}
</SCRIPT>


<body style="background: #39275B; 
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;  
  background-position: center;
link="white" vlink="red" alink="white"">


<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">
<li type="circle">
<a href="javascript: poponload()" class="linkw">Application</a>
</font></li>

</body>
</html>

I would like to enter a different url link each time i call the function
Like the example below

Code:

<a href="javascript: poponload(http://www.google.com)" class="linkw">Application</a>

<a href="javascript: poponload(/secure/mlu/Henderson.pdf)" class="linkw">Application</a>

<a href="javascript: poponload(/secure/ucla/And.html)" class="linkw">Application</a>

<a href="javascript: poponload(http://www.webdeveloper.com)" class="linkw">Application</a>

Any help is greatly appreciated

Just put the different URL's inside of single quotes and do this:

Code:

function poponload(url)
{
    var testwindow = window.open (url, "mywindow","location=no,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,directories=0,width=750,height=550");
    testwindow.moveTo(25,40);
}

The error is probably in your moveTo line. Remove that line to find out.

**AHendersonWebDe** · 11-17-2008 02:57 PM

Thanks but the error tell me the line number which is ..
<a href="javascript: poponload('http://www.google.com')" class="linkw">Application</a>

When i added the single quotes and the url, i get the error. If i leave it blank the code works but opens a blank page

With single quotes is correct syntax. Are you using server-side code to build that HTML line? If so, then the problem is in the server-side which you are not showing. If not, then post a link to the full live page so I can try it out for myself.

Code:

<?php
 session_start();
?>
  



<HTML>


<head>
<title>me</title>







<style type="text/css">
.linkw{color:#FFFFF;} 
</style>



</head>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
function poponload(url)
{
var testwindow= window.open ('', "mywindow","location=no,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,directories=0,width=750,height=550");
testwindow.moveTo(25,40);
}
</SCRIPT>


<body style="background: #39275B; 
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;  
  background-position: center;
link="white" vlink="red" alink="white"">


 <?php
  
  // check session variable

  if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user']))
  {
    
        echo '<tr align="center" bgcolor="#39275B"><td colspan="3">';
	echo '<a href="javascript: poponload(want to add url here)" class="linkw">Application</a>';
	echo '</td></tr>';
     
        echo '<tr align="center" bgcolor="#39275B"><td colspan="3">';
	echo '<a href="javascript: poponload(2nd url here)" class="linkw">Application</a>';
	echo '</td></tr>';
    
   
        echo '<tr align="center" bgcolor="#39275B"><td colspan="3">';
	echo '<a href="javascript: poponload(3rd url here)" class="linkw">Application</a>';
	echo '</td></tr>';
    
    
        echo '<tr align="center" bgcolor="#39275B"><td colspan="3">';
	echo '<a href="javascript: poponload(4th url here)" class="linkw">Application</a>';
	echo '</td></tr>';
	                     
    
    
   
    
  }
  else
  {
    echo '<p>You are not logged in.</p>';
    echo '<p>Only logged in members may view information on this page.</p>';
    echo '<a href="login_me.php" class="linkw">Back to main page please</a>';
    
  }

  
?>


</body>
</html>

Right now there is no url inside poponload()......and the code give a blank popup window. But when i add the url with single quotes poponload('/secure/me/me.pdf') or poponload(http://www.google.com) i receive a syntax error on this line stating that a "," or a ";" is missing

**MrNobody** · 11-17-2008 04:07 PM

Yep, the error was in your server-side code. Change this:

Code:

echo '<a href="javascript: poponload(want to add url here)" class="linkw">Application</a>';

to this:

Code:

echo '<a href="javascript: poponload(\'want to add url here\')" class="linkw">Application</a>';

Thanks, although it resolved the error, it now brings up a blank page...as if it totally ignores whats inside the parentheses

**MrNobody** · 11-18-2008 10:59 AM

So what does the generated HTML at the client look like now?

**AHendersonWebDe** · 11-18-2008 11:09 AM

I still receive a blank html page. I'm not sure what i'm missing yet i know i can been executed.

**MrNobody** · 11-18-2008 02:00 PM

No, the generated HTML *before* you click the link.

I just created an html file (omitted the php file) with just the javascript function above and the issue still exist. i really dont think it has anything to do with the php coding because im still unable to insert a link and get the website. All your help is very appreciated. If i may ask you to create an html file with that javascript function and attempt to insert a link in the body of the file where u are calling the function and see if that website is executed. thanks again

I noticed in your function that you are missing a parameter. This is what I posted for you to use. Note the part in red:

Code:

function poponload(url)
{
    var testwindow = window.open (url, "mywindow","location=no,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,directories=0,width=750,height=550");
    testwindow.moveTo(25,40);
}

}
