Removing Domain Names from Popups

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 02.2005

Hey guys,

Check this out:
[url]http://www.sugarsports.com/adGallery/test/photoGallery2.html[/url]

Click download. You’ll see that the title on the popup contains the domain that the pop up page is hosted on… how can I remove this? I’ve been googling for some time and I can’t find a solution.

I’ve heard a lot of people say that this is impossible to fix. However, some weird Adobe Golive component managed to remove the title on my client’s homepage ([url]http://www.sugarsports.com[/url]) so it is definitely possible… I just don’t know how.

I’d appreciate any help. Thanks.

@KorDec 02.2005 — give the popup page a title, at least a character, a dot, something...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>.</title>

If you click download, you'll see that I do give it a title, but the title follows a http://biz.dimlightstudios.us domain name. That domain name is what I want to get rid of.

Thanks

Hmm. Do you see the domain on the main pop-up for www.sugarsports.com ?

I'm not sure if I adjusted my browser, but I am pretty sure that there is some script used there to get rid of the domain -- I'm just not sure what.

@SpectreReturnsDec 02.2005 — Maybe there is, but to do it they've got a maaaajor hack going on:

[url=http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.sugarsports.com/]They're making up elements![/url]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... I'm just hoping someone here knows a way to trick the browser like that.

I see, as I use Mozilla Firefox...

@ScriptageDec 05.2005 — What are the values that you pass to the pop win function?

Do you pass the entire url of the page... ie http://biz.dimlight.......

If so try referencing it as a relative url and host it on the same domain (if it already isn't).

So: source in the popwin function would be "photoPop.html" instead of "http://biz.dimli......"

May not work... just a thought

@ScriptageDec 05.2005 — Another thing you could do is have a page, ie photoPop.html, hosted on sugarsports.com and have an iframe in this page with the url as biz.dimlight.... this would solve the problem.

@doodler85authorDec 05.2005 — I like the iframe idea, scriptage. The hacks involved with actually removing the domain would probably kill cross-compatibility with browsers and systems, and I don't want to have to deal with my client's host (who turned off variable-passing with their PHP).

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't think of that idea :eek:

@ScriptageDec 05.2005 — No problem ?

@jr1Dec 05.2005 — This is normal behaviour for browsers. The only thing the browser knows when the window opens is the URL. Once it starts downloading the HTML document, then it'll pick up the title from the code.

I don't think there's really anything to do about that. Maybe give the window a name in the window.open, e.g. window.open('http://someurl','SUGARSPORTS','parameters');

Just a thought and I could be wrong.

Success!
