window open problems

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 21.2004

hi,

I, just want to take a question about the onClick=”window.open()” command.
So, there is a problem when i use it. If i click on the link(with this command), the window’s open properly, but the website on the main window is scrolls back to the top of the page. (probably the page in the main window is reloading?)
How could i make this without scrolling back to the top on the main window.
So, i’m not an expert, please help!!
thanks
perren

@PhillMcAug 21.2004 — I am unsure about that, but I do know that many browsers and pop-up blockers will prevent your window from opening. What exactly are you using it for? Perhaps there is another way. ?

[B]How could i make this without scrolling back to the top on the main window.[/B][/QUOTE] First you start with something that works in all browsers:

[font=monospace]<a href="http://www.w3.org/">W3C</a>[/font]

And then you add the pop-up feature for those browsers that do support it:

[font=monospace]<a href="http://www.w3.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child'); return false">W3C</a>[/font]

But with some pop-up blockers you'll still end up with a broken link. And as nobody really wants a pop-up anyway, you might as well refrain from their use.

@PhillMcAug 21.2004 — Couldn't agree with you more, Charles. ?

This works(window.open(this.href, 'child', 'scrollbars=no, width=300, height=1'); return false").
