I am extremely new to Javascript and now very little about it. On the page I am working on, I want to open pdf files in a new window instead of a frame. However, it doesn't show the link as visited until the original page is refreshed.
Click <a href ="filename.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin'); return false"> here</a> is the javascript code that I am using to open the new window.
The Current code is:
<html>
<head>
<title>Lake Huron Learning Collaborative Inc. - LHLC</title>

Also, "javascript:launchPDF(Report 09)" doesn't work because Report 09 is a variable.
If you want it to be a string, you have to put quotes around it.
"Report 09"
Wrong code = "javascript:launchPDF(Report 09)"
New code = "javascript:launchPDF( 'Report 09' )"
