passing variables to pop up

viveleroi0

I have an image gallery which pops up a window. I need to pass two variables to it, but how would I do that? I am using the following pop up code:

<a href="#"

onClick="window.open('./Gallery/file.php','ImgSrc','width=600,height=400,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no,left=0,top=0,screenx=50,screeny=50');return false">
<img src="./Gallery/BW/LoRes/bw1.gif" border="0"></a>

The only way is to use the query string:

<a href="#" 
      bonClick="window.open('./Gallery/file. php[color=red]?var1=\"var1\"&var2=\"var2\"'[/color], 'ImgSrc','width=600,height=400,directories=no,
location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no,left=0,top=0,screenx=50,screeny=50');return false"> 

<img src="./Gallery/BW/LoRes/bw1.gif" border="0"></a>

that's what I tried but it did not work.

I wouldn't use pop-ups...Everybody is turning them off. 😃

pass them as normal, works fine for me, show us the code you tried.

As to people turning pop-ups off, perhaps some do, it depends who the target audience for the site you are designing is. Tends to be techies who turn them off, if you're making a site for a non-techie audience then I wouldn't worry too much

Lots of internet software gives the option of "ad blocking", which usually includes popup blocking.

I'd use a conventional hyper-link:

<a target = "_blank"
     href='/Gallery/file. php?var1="var1"&var2="var2"'>
  <img src="./Gallery/BW/LoRes/bw1.gif" border="0">
</a>

You can then turn on/off all the othre features using script in that page. It also garuntees the link will work on even the most conventional browser that don't support Javascript.

This always worked for me

href='filepath.ext?var=value?var2=value2' (just remove the double quotes)

Uhm sorry for the typo that should be

href='filepath.ext?var=value&var2=value2'

It just doesn't work. It will open the php file, but the values do not get passed.

The URL is correct; it must be the script it's locating that is wrong.

are u using $_GET['var1'] to just $var1 on the page your opening...? You may have super globals turned off, and that could be the problem...other than that, it makes no sense why they wouldn't be passed along...unless you had typos...lol
