popup window not appearing at correct location

varai

The following popup window is not appearing at the correct location if I pass the values through parameters such as w(for width), h(for height),l(for left),t(top),sX(screenX),sY(screenY). I don't know why? can someone please help?

However, it is displaying at the correct location if I hard code it with figures.

function popupwin_fn(the_link,page,w,h,l,t,sX,sY)
{/*screenX=pixels from the left for Netscape 4+ 
screenY=pixels from the top for Netscape 4+
left=pixels from the left for internet explorer 4+
top=pixels from the top for internet explorer 4+*/
document.write(the_link,page,w);
the_link.onclick=
win1=window.open(page,'mywin','location=no, width=w, height=h, left=l, top=t, screenX=sX, screenY=sY');
/*win1=window.open(page,'mywin','location=no, width=350, height=200, left=500, top=200, screenX=500, screenY=200');
*/
popupwin_flag=true;
}

thank you.

I'm just adding more details to my above post:

The following popup window is not appearing at the correct location if I pass the values through a function with parameters such as w(for width), h(for height),l(for left),t(top),sX(screenX),sY(screenY). I don't know why? can someone please help?

However, it is displaying at the correct location if I hard code it with figures.

By the way, function popupwin_fn is located in an external javascript file: signin_check.js.

function popupwin_fn(the_link,page,w,h,l,t,sX,sY)
{
/*screenX=pixels from the left for Netscape 4+ 
screenY=pixels from the top for Netscape 4+
left=pixels from the left for internet explorer 4+
top=pixels from the top for internet explorer 4+*/

document.write(the_link,page,w);

[COLOR="Red"]the_link.onclick=
win1=window.open(page,'mywin','location=no, width=w, height=h, left=l, top=t, screenX=sX, screenY=sY');[/COLOR]

/*the_link.onclick=
win1=window.open(page,'mywin','location=no, width=350, height=200, left=500, top=200, screenX=500, screenY=200');
*/

popupwin_flag=true;
}

thank you.

by the way, when I try
document.write(the_link,page,w,h,l,t,sX,sY),

the following is the output:
[object Window]password_help.html350200500200500200

ie. the values of the output is correct for each variable.

The problem is that you are not using the variables in the call to window.open. Instead of the document.write in your last post, copy paste the whole thing that you are using in the call to window.open to see what's really being used, rather than something else.

/* This does not work, so copy paste the 3rd argument and output it */
//window.open(page,'mywin','location=no, width=w, height=h, left=l, top=t, screenX=sX, screenY=sY');

document.write('location=no, width=w, height=h, left=l, top=t, screenX=sX, screenY=sY');

Hi Johanafm,

after reading ur solution, the following is what I came up with:

the_link.onclick=
win1=window.open(page,'mywin','location=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', left='+l+', top='+t+', screenX='+sX+', screenY='+sY+'');

and it works fine.

Thanks a lot! 🙂
