Does anyone know how to make a popup window point to a dynamic URL? I am trying to adapt some code the was given to me to do this. The overall function of the code searches the html of a given page for an ISBN number and then takes that information and builds a URL that links to information on the book at Google Book Preview.
I've pasted a portion of the code below and attached a .txt file of the code in its entirety.
In its current state when I attempt to click on the link created by the code nothing happens. I can see that the URL the link is trying to call is "javascript:openNewWindow()". Some how the dynamic URL is not making its way in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
if (bookInfo.preview == "full" || bookInfo.preview == "partial") {
preview = "<a href='javascript:openNewWindow()'>Preview this item</a>";
function openNewWindow() {
var popupWin = window.open(bookInfo.preview_url,
'open_window',
'menubar, toolbar, location, directories, status, scrollbars, resizable, dependent, width=640, height=480, left=0, top=0');
