Re: OT - javascript in ative desktop components

[Sidney Maestre]

Hi Sean,


I saw a snippet of code that talked about having a hyperlink which

opened

a new window, but also worked for non-script enabled browsers.

It's not the same problem you're having, but perhaps it will take you

in the right direction.


In this example the function "openIt()" would be in the header tag.

Notice the return false syntax.


<A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="openIt(); return false;">Open

the Yahoo Window</a>
