Hi all,

I am working on a project that involves creating a hyperlink that opens a new window. This is a bit more than hyperlinking with javascript as well explained in this thread: http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=14703&PN=1&TPN=2 - http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=14703&PN=1&TPN=2

I have researched and looked at pop up generators but they do not help with passing on varaibles I have here.

Here is what my code looks like now:

============================

if display = "C" then

response.write "<br><a href=""" & linked_page & "?id=" & data("id") & """>" & data("news_title") & "</a> <br>"

end if

===========================

I would appreciate any advice on how I can get this to open in NEW window or pop up (popup).

many thanks for your help.

To open it in a new window you could add the target attribute into your link ie: <a href="somelink?id=somevalue">something</a>

Or you could do it as a js function like so:


function openWin(id){
var win = window.open("blah.asp?id="+id+"", "windowname", "features")
}

Thats how I do it and all works fine

Thanks bootcom.

I was not "born a programmer" and do not know how to implement your suggestion. Javascript sounds like the better option as you can control window size etc.

How would you do add javascript to my code?

Thanks again for your help.

Well using the example function I gave ... put that in the head tag of your document and call it as a link like so:


<a href="#" onClick="openWin('<%= data("id") %>')">
