RE: [flasher] Re: Test popup with NS6

[Niklas Gustavsson]

the javascript window.open() function returns the window object of the

popup. Therefore, if you do like this:

<a href="javascript:window.open(blabla...)"> 

this means that the browser will follow the link of the result from the

function => you get the [Object] stuff...


the simplest workaround is to do like this instead:

<a href="javascript:void(window.open(blabla...))"> 


void takes any function result and turns it into false.

Flashers,


	We had a similar problem with IE5.5 and popup windows.  The popup

window would open up but the parent window would go blank with the text

"[Object]" in it.  It appears that the parent is loosing its place as far as

what URL it should be at.  So we used the code below on a getUrl() to store

the current location of the parent window to a variable, open the popup

window, and then set the parent window back to the original URL were it

started.  It worked like a charm for us.


    getURL ("javascript:var

temp=location.href;window.open('case_study.htm','check','menubar=yes,scrollb

ars=yes,resizable=yes,width=550,height=400');location.href=temp");



Good Luck

Does work indeed, but the main pages vanishes and is replaced with a

nearly blank page with '[object Window]' in the upper left window

corner and the 'javascript:window.open(...)'-expression in the 'URL

field'.


I guess it is not what you really wanted... ;)
