Re: FLASH: javascript for open window help please

[Randy Kato]

Phil,


Those three browsers are probably the Gold, Silver and Bronze medalists in the

Worst browser competition (though we may have a new contender in NS 6). If you

really need to support them, your options are quite limited...limited to

target="_blank" as you mentioned. You could attempt some really complex sniffing

technique, but it would probably have to involve more than just JavaScript and

might not be worth the headache. Unfortunately I don't have any specific

solutions for you...for me, it's not worth the headache.  ; ]


I know this doesn't really fly with clients, but for people using these

browsers, the 'entire' web looks messed up and/or is largely non-functional.
