newbie help

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 08.2004

I am trying to write a small routine that will open several pages. I have ‘copied’ the code from ‘Learn javascript in 21 days’, at least I think I have copied it, but cannot get it to work. I have tried to simplify it to get started but I do not appear to be calling the routine.

I’d be grateful if someone could show me where I have gone wrong.

TIA
Code is below.

<html>
<head>
<title>MTL Pages</title>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>
<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
function OpenIt(currentform)
{
var pfx=”http://”
var tgt=”_blank”
var nameArray = new Array();
var urlArray = new Array();
nameArray[0] = “sabs”;
urlArray[0] = “www.ntlworld.com”;
nameArray[1] = “csa”;
urlArray[1] = “www.grc.com”;
nameArray[2] = “nexus”;
urlArray[2] = “www.bbc.co.uk”;

for (var i=0; i<nameArray.Length; i++) {
/* window.open(pfx + urlArray[i], nameArray[i], target = nameArray[i]);
*/
window.open(“http://www.bbc.co.uk“, “test”);
alert(“Open It”);
}
}
//–>
</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor=”#FFFFFF” text=”#000000″>
<form name=”form1″>
<p><input type=”button” name=”OpenWin” value=”Open”
onclick=”OpenIt(this.form)”></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

@David_HarrisonMay 09.2004 — Four small points Jona, you've used XML comments with an HTML 4.01 DTD.

//<![CDATA[

//]]>

Why have you not used a full DTD?

You've not got an action in the form tag.

If you don't post in [code] tags you get spaces at the end of each line.

My two pence.

gasman - Why do you want a script to open 3 pop-ups at once?

@JonaMay 09.2004 — [font=arial]He's trying to learn, I forgot which DTD I used, I just put something in, I admit I made some mistakes, and I hate to use the code tag; you try to be a babysitter and a programmer at the same time. ? [/font]

@David_HarrisonMay 09.2004 — I can't stand children. :mad:
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@JonaMay 09.2004 — [font=arial]I love kids, but babysitting my own younger brothers is a task I don't believe I should be forced to tend to... Anyway, I edited my post. ? [/font]

gasman - Why do you want a script to open 3 pop-ups at once? [/B][/QUOTE]

At work we have to open about 5 web pages, sometimes more. The majority of the apps are web based.

It is for my benefit not anyone else yet. When I get it working I will give it to the rest of the team if they want it.

I was looking for someone to tell me where I had gone wrong, not to correct my code.

@gasmanauthorMay 09.2004 — Jona,

I cut and pasted your code. That does not work either. I do not get the warning message, but I do get the button.

I can see you amended the target syntax, but it still does not appear to call the function.

@gasmanauthorMay 09.2004 — Found it.

I had nameArray.Length and it should be nameArray.length.

Is there a way now to cycle through the open windows(there are going to be more than 3) and close them at the end of the shift.?

TIA
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@David_HarrisonMay 09.2004 — What shift?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@gasmanauthorMay 09.2004 — Sorry, bad phrasing.

I meant at the end of my work shift, when going home.

I've found out a way to do it anyway.

Thanks to everyone for the replies

Success!
