Context Menu Iframe won't work!

With this nice script, when I put a iframe has target, it won't work.

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</SCRIPT>

This piece of code causes the problem, but it's necessary for another script...
How can I do this now?

Which script requires this? It looks to me to just be standard error- and window-muffling code.
Comment it out and try everything.

The window.open() method targets a new or existing window. If you want to target a frame or iframe, do it by its name, id or any method of identifying it via javascript script, using the location.href=, location.href.replace() or src= methods. Or use a regular link with the target attribute set to the frame/iframe's name.

Jscheuer1 - Well, I tried all those methods... none works in the script I mentioned above (see link).

Twey - the script is one that says the time on page... so it needs load and unload elements... IF I take the whole thing, it won't work. :\

They will all work in any script, if written correctly and used for what they will do. Let's see your full code or:

PLEASE: Include the URL to your problematic webpage that you want help with.

[Gabber]

The page has a lot of scripts... all work (except sound in FF).

1- I took a line of the script I posted... and it worked fine offline.

2- I upload, and see the page online. Does not work. Why? My host adds 2 scripts, one after the body (!) and other in the middle of the html... it's exactly the same as I pasted above.... so even if I have that script without the line that causes the problem... it has another duplicate with that line...

hence... stuff does not work!
Is there a way my host won't add anything?

Thanks for the help

I'm still not clear on what it is that you want to have happen and when. Also, are you now saying that the iframe gets targeted after all, just not live due to conflicts with your host's scripts?

[Gabber]

see the source of that link.
I changed this:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</SCRIPT>

into

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}


//-->
</SCRIPT>

and stuff worked again in my pc... So I basically did a small fix...
but I dunno how, the place here I have my files hosted adds 2 script, including this one again!

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</SCRIPT>

now how do I work this out?

[jscheuer1]

Give your script all different names for the variables and functions so that it will not conflict with the host's script. Then when you make calls to it, use the new name. Then the host's script can sit idly by while yours operates.

[Twey]

All you did to that page was disable the no-window-opening code. You now have a function (SymWinOpen()) which isn't ever going to be called.
