 Topic: Javascript window.opener
Posted: 20 July 2006 at 5:27pm |
|
I have a pop-up window and by using javascript I want to use the window.opener function to change the URL of the page that opened it.
How would I go about doing this?

So I'm using the old javascript pop-up window code that WWF use to use:
Javascript Code:
//Function to open pop up window
function openWin(theURL,winName,features) {
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
ASP Code:
Response.Write (" <a href=""javascript:openWin('/dsp/includes/pop_up_event.asp?ID=" & rsEvent("Event_ID") & "','" & rsEvent("Event_Title") & "','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=600,height=400')"">")
|
It works just fine in FF, but throws an error in IE and won't open. I thought it might be pop-up blocker or something, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

What is the error, and can you post the code that is actually outputted, instead of the ASP?

My bad. Here is what the HTML looks like:
From FF:
<a href="javascript:openWin('/dsp/includes/pop_up_event.asp?ID=14','Prospect Social','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=600,height=400')">Prospect Social</a>
From IE:
<a href="javascript:openWin('/dsp/includes/pop_up_event.asp?ID=14','Prospect Social','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=600,height=400')">Prospect Social</a>
And the Javascript just for reference:
//Function to open pop up window
function openWin(theURL,winName,features) {
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
|
The error that is says is Line: 4 Character: 4 Error: "invalid argument" Code: 0 Here is the top 4 lines of the page too, but I don't think that has anything to do with it:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
|
And the open window function is the first one in my included javascript file, so I'm not real sure where the Line 4, Character 4 issue is. This one has me stumped...so odds are it's fairly simple.

Your problem is coming in the new window's name. Firefox can accept a space, but IE can't.
For the name, do something like this instead.
Replace(rsEvent("Event_Title")," ","") |

Awesome!
Thank you!
(I knew it would be something simple...which is why I missed it)
