opening multiple urls using window.open function

Post #7 above was missing it so I wondered... had to make sure.

I do it this way so that if JavaScript is disabled, the link still works:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
                      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Popup Links</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//
function poponload(url, tgt)
{
    var testwindow = window.open (url, tgt, "location=no,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,directories=0,width=750,height=550");
//  testwindow.moveTo(25,40);
    return false;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>

<p><a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank"
 onclick="return poponload(this.href, this.target)">Google</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.yahoo.com/" target="_blank"
 onclick="return poponload(this.href, this.target)">Yahoo</a></p>

</body>
</html>

Your moveTo is commented out because it was causing an error -- as I suggested several posts ago.

    testwindow.moveTo(25,40);
}

ok. I realized now that it may be my php syntax. I was successful in launching the website without my php coding. If you have any suggestions for the above php script, please post. Meanwhile i will be researching php syntax. Thanks for all your help and future help. O. Im using PHP version 4.4.8

Yes....ok i got it now!!! (with your help of course)... below is the code i used
Thanks again for not giving up on me

PHP Code:



<?php
 session_start();
?>
  



<HTML>


<head>
<title>popup</title>


</head>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(url) 
{
 var width  = 900;
 var height = 800;
 var left   = (screen.width  - width)/2;
 var top    = (screen.height - height)/2;
 var params = 'width='+width+', height='+height;
 params += ', top='+top+', left='+left;
 params += ', directories=no';
 params += ', location=no';
 params += ', menubar=no';
 params += ', resizable=no';
 params += ', scrollbars=no';
 params += ', status=no';
 params += ', toolbar=no';
 newwin=window.open(url,'windowname5', params);
 if (window.focus) {newwin.focus()}
 return false;
}
// -->
</script>

<body>

<?php
  
  // check session variable

  if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user']))
  {
    
       echo '<tr align="center" bgcolor="#39275B"><td colspan="3">';
    echo '<a href="javascript: void()"    onclick="popup(\'http://www.mysite.com/secure/me.pdf\')" class="linkw">Application</a>';
    echo '</td></tr>';
    
    
    echo '<tr align="center" bgcolor="#39275B"><td colspan="3">';
    echo '<a href="javascript: void()" onclick="popup(\'http://www.google.com/ig\')" class="linkw">Application</a>';
    echo '</td></tr>';
    
    
    
    echo '<tr align="center" bgcolor="#39275B"><td colspan="3">';
    echo '<a href="javascript: void()" onclick="popup(\'defaultpage.php\')" 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="h7.php" class="linkw">Back to main page please</a>';
    
  }

  
?>

Just one last question....What is the reason for adding the comments () within the javascript....It works with and without so why use it?

It used to be a requirement in case the browser didn't support JavaScript -- that way, it would be commented out and not cause errors during page load. Browsers nowadays should be smart enough to skip the JavaScript code even if they don't support it. But, ya never know.
