Quick Question – Window.open()

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 07.2003

hi guys,

I have a href in a jsp which opens a new browser window using

<a href=”javascript:window.open(‘<%=rs.getString(“url”)%>’,'<%=rs.getString(“name”)%>’)”><%= rs.getString(“name”) %></a>

On clicking the link, it does open a new browser window as expected BUT the parent window browser becomes empty with only one thing written i.e. [object].

Where am i going wrong ? ?

@KeshavaRMay 07.2003 — Try using -

onClick Event instead of <a href></a>, which would eventually trigger a function having your window.open code

function test()

{

window.open('<%=rs.getString("url")%>','<%=rs.getString("name")%>')"><%= rs.getString("name") %>

}

and <td onclick="test()">Link Name Here</td>

@CharlesMay 07.2003 — [font=georgia]That would be bad. It would give you a link that didn't do anything for one in ten people and cause all kinds of trouble for people using non-visual browsers. Use instead:[/font]

[font=monospace]<a href="<%=rs.getString("url")%>" onclick="window.open(this.href, '<%=rs.getString("name")%>'); return false"><%=rs.getString("name")%></a>[/font]
