FAQ Topic - How do I open a new window with javascript?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
New windows can be opened on browsers that support the
` window.open ` function and are not subject to the action of any
pop-up blocking mechanism with code such as:-
if(window.open){
wRef = window.open("http://example.com/page.html","windowName";);
}
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window.open
http://www.infimum.dk/HTML/JSwindows.html
That needs re-thinking and re-writing.
My MS IE 7 is certainly subject to the action of a pop-up blocking
mechanism, yet it can certainly open new windows.
There seems to be four (or more) distinct cases to consider : the first
parameter of window.open can be an empty string (""), or it can be a
relative reference ("sibling.htm"), or it can be a full reference
("http://...";) to the same site, or it can be a full reference
("http://...";) to a different site.
As a first step, I suggest (note spaces in code, for legibility) :
New windows can be opened on browsers that support the ` window.open `
method with code such as :-
if (window.open)
wRef = window.open(
"http://example.com/page.html";, "windowName", "windowFeatures")
Opening new windows is often prevented by a pop-up blocker.
