Question re new windows

Taneya

hi,

I would like to know if this is possible and perhaps get some direction as to how I proceed.

On my site, I generate results pages that include links to an image. I currently have it set so the images appear in a new window. How do I make it so that the new window that opens does not have the URL?

I believe this is possible with Javascript, but I don't know Javascript. I could learn enough I think though to get by, but my real question is can this be integrated w/ PHP in the way that I want? In my database table field, I am creating the URL link just by using (open tag)a href="whatever" target="web">Whatever (close tag)

so, the page that is the results page is a dynamically generated page. On a normal HTML page, the javascript could be included on the page. Could I still include the javascript on the page (it would be the page that i pass the results too?)

Does this make any sense? 🙂 any ideas??? all help is appreciated!

the javacript forum will allow you to find sample code for what you want...

here is some info from a FAQ

Due to high demand for new windows lately I thought people may like a list of the parameters available.

for window.open('name.htm','windowName','parameters')

All the parameters must be enclosed as a single string with comma's separating them, and no spaces (or they won't work).

They are entered as : parameter=value pairs, these parameters (the ones I know of) are:

dependant=yes/no
directories=yes/no
height=pixel value (replaced in 1.2 with inner/outer)
width=pixel value (replaced in 1.2 with inner/outer)
location=yes/no
hotkeys=yes/no
innerHeight=pixel value
innerWidth=pixel value
menubar=yes/no
outerHeight=pixel value
outerWidth=pixel value
resizable=yes/no
left=pixel value (NN4+ --> screenX)
top=pixel value (NN4+ --> screenY)
scrollbars=yes/no
titlebar=yes/no
toolbar=yes/no
z-lock=yes/no
copyhistory=yes/no

You can set attributes for both browsers at once, they will ignore ones they don't understand

e.g.
var newOne = self.open('myWin.htm','Mine','menubar=no,titlebar=no')

The 'name' is used only for the target attribute of links and form submissions - so always attach to a variable, to perform any actions on the new window.

When working with new windows, the window which spawned the new one is referred to as the window's opener, not parent.Parent refers to frames pages.

opener.close()
This would close the window which opened our new one
