Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 04.2004

i’m try to design a form, and need to open a new window when the word view is clicked on. I have the code below which works fine in opening a new window with correct info, but it also changes the main window to a white page with ‘[object]’ written on it….i dont want the main window to change. Is there a way around this?

echo “<td><a href=”javascript:window.open(‘people_details.php?user_id=$user_id’,’details’,’width=300,height=200′);”>::View</a></td>n”;

thanks for the help!

('people_details.php?user_id=$user_id','info','width=300,height=200');
return false;"&gt;::View&lt;/a&gt;or something like that . Remember, the HREF = Hypertext REFerence, and should be a valid URL or similar

@redijediApr 04.2004 — Just off the top of my head: Try not to put it in the href. How about onclick? Also, java script should be javascript - one word.

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('people_details.php? user_id=$user_id','details','width=300,height=200'

);">::View</a>


Hope that helps.

The [FONT=courier new]javascript:[/FONT] pseudo-protocol isn't even needed there, and the forum adds the space. :-D
