a little javascript help - I know...!PHP

Anon

I know this isn't a php question, but I was hoping someone out there might see what's causing my problem here. (At least I'm using PHP too!) For some reason, after this function executes, the main window reloads itself - which I don't want.

<SCRIPT Language='JavaScript'>
<!-- JavaScript Follows

var content
function winopen (content) {
msg=open("","NewWindow","toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=yes,width=400,height=260,screenX=300,screenY=300,top=300,left=300");
msg.document.write("<HEAD><TITLE>Welcome.</TITLE></HEAD>");
msg.document.write("<CENTER><h1><B>This is your new window.</B></h1></CENTER>");
msg.document.write(content);
msg.document.write("<FORM><CENTER><INPUT TYPE='BUTTON' VALUE='Close Window' onClick='window.close()'></CENTER></FORM>");

}
//JavaScript Ends -->
</SCRIPT>

and then in the page, I have this to call the function:

$content="<CENTER>THIS WORKS!<BR>$city</CENTER>";
print ("<FORM><INPUT ONCLICK=\"javascript:winopen('$content')\" TYPE='image' SRC=\"images/moreinfo.gif\" VALUE='more info'></FORM>\n");

The only thing that jumps out to me is that your form input is an image (type=image) which does the same as a submit button.....which reloads the current page if you don't specify a form action.

Why not just make it a regular hyperlinked image.

Scott, thanks for your response. I thought I had tried that and it didn't work (hence I used the form/image) but apparently, whatever I tried wasn't what you suggested because yours worked! Thank you.

another question if you don't mind. when the mouse hovers over the image now, the
"javascript:winopen('$content')\" bit is shown in the status bar at the bottom - any way to change that?

thanks again. -craig

easy...

onMouseOver="self.status='';return true;"
