window.location.href

[surboomer]

Right, this is such a pain, I can't believe its not possible!

I am using window.location.href but can't appy a target blank to it! Just self or top...why is that?

Any other options?

window.open ?

Cheers

Try:

window.parent.location="http://www.google.com"

This will cause Google.com to be loaded in the browser window, clearing any frames if it's inside one.

Just in case ddadmin has missed what I think the question is here, I think what you are looking for is the window.open() method. It is the javascript equivalent to the html anchor tag with the target attribute set to _blank. Here is how it is used to open a basic new window:

window.open('some.htm')

If you can follow this logic, the window.open() part replaces:

target="_blank"

and the 'some.htm' part replaces:

href="some.htm"

If ddadmin got it right, this post will self destruct in 10 seconds.

Hi
I have an add on to this post.

I am a newbie at JavaScript.
Can the window.open() method be added to the following line of code so it redirects on the click to a new browser ?
onClick="window.location.href = 'some.htm'"

Thanks

<span onclick="var bob=window.open('','_blank');bob.location='some.htm';">Whatever</span>

But one can just as easily:

<span onclick="window.open('some.htm','_blank');">Whatever</span>

Hi i have a question a bit different that probably touch everything you wrote in this tread.

I need to open a pop up window from a list i generated from a database.

Up to now this is what i was using to see my results from my list.

<?php
[...]
echo '  <tr class="content" onmouseout="this.className=\'content\'" onmouseover="this.className=\'mouseover\'"
    onclick="location.href=\'add.php?id='.$line['id'].'\'">';
[...]
?>

The problem is i need to make the page appear in a pop-up window.
I need to be able to set the width and height of that window also.
I tried several things but i still didn't found anything that worked since its in a <TR>.

Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

G78.

Try this:

<?php
[...]
echo '  <tr class="content" onmouseout="this.className=\'contenu\'" onmouseover="this.className=\'mouseover\'"
    onclick="location.href=\'add.php?id='.$ligne[id].'\'">';
[...]
?>

Erm, are you saying it can't be done?

Its the exact same code.

Heres the full function.

<?php

  function ShowContent($line) {

    global $Columns;

    echo '  <tr class="content" onmouseout="this.className=\'content\'" onmouseover="this.className=\'mouseover\'"
    onclick="location.href=\'add.php?id='.$line['id'].'\'">';
    foreach ($Columns as $col => $title) {
      if ($line[$col]) {
        echo '<td>';
        echo htmlentities($line[$col]);
        echo '</td>';
      }
    }
    echo "</tr>\n";

  }
?>
