i have a question regarding opening a link in a new window.

This piece of code generates an url:

[CODE]
<input
style=”LEFT: 4.844in; WIDTH: 52px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0.083in; HEIGHT: 20px”
onclick=”document.location=’../Drawings/’ + this.form.txtlink.value;” type=”button”
size=”1″ value=”Launch”></p>
[/CODE]

this part

[CODE]this.form.txtlink.value;” [/CODE]

points to a value in a textbox.

Now i would like these urls to open in a new window. is there anyone that can help me out?

I’ve tried chaning document.location into window.open, but then nothing happends when i click.

Any ideas?

@balloonbuffoonJan 05.2006 — You don't set the value of window.open like you would set the value of document.location because window.open is a function and document.location is a property. So, you must do:
[CODE]
<input
style="LEFT: 4.844in; WIDTH: 52px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0.083in; HEIGHT: 20px"
onclick="window.open[COLOR=Red]([/COLOR]'../Drawings/' + this.form.txtlink.value[COLOR=Red], 'new_window')[/COLOR]" type="button"
size="1" value="Launch"></p>
[/CODE]
'new_window' is the new window's name.

That [I]should[/I] work.

Good luck!
