parent window onClick

**VatsaL** · 11-11-2006, 03:10 PM

I press a button.

A popup opens, showing me a list of links.

I click on a link.

The popup closes, and the new link opens in a new window.

what should I put instead of onClick=window.open('http://www.google.com/','') so that the link I click on opens in the
original window where I pressed the button to open the popup??

the present code of the popup window:

Code:

<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function openWin() {

        display=window.open('','NewWin','menubar=0,location=no,status=no,directories=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,height=110,width=190')
        message="<font face='verdana, arial, helvetica, san-serif' size='2'><form>";
        message+="<input type='checkbox' onClick=window.open('http://www.google.com/','') onBlur='window.close();' />Google<br />";
        message+="</form></font>";
        display.moveTo(X,Y);
        display.document.write(message); }
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<font face="verdana">
<form><input type="button" value="Some Links" onClick="openWin()" /></form>
</font>
</body>

thanks,

VatsaL

Also, I need to convert the checkbox links to normal <a href> links, what should I do with the onClick=window.open thingy?

code with target="_self"

You have a point, I'll try that!

Let me get this straight.

you click on a link it opens a new window with open() or target="" ?

then from that window you click a link & you want it to go back to the window you started from ?

in that case
parent.window.location = newlocation

I wanted the link from the popup to open in the original window, and the popup to close, both events at the same time.

I figured it out, though. It works by replacing the link lines with this code:

Code:

message+="<a href='#' onclick=window.opener.document.location.href='http://www.microsoft.com/';window.opener.focus() onblur='window.close();'>Microsoft Corp.</a>";

or something much simpler:

Code:

message+="<a href='#' onclick=window.opener.document.location.href='http://www.microsoft.com/';window.close()>Microsoft Corp.</a>";
