**jlbantang** · Aug 22nd, 2012, 08:02 AM

Hi, Im using a custom function to open window most of the time it works in IE,FF and CHROME but when I pass the value

Code:

onclick="popupwindow01('supplier.aspx?src=rpt&tar=costcentre','Page Title',400,500);"

in IE debugger local window it shows

HTML Code:

url 
value="supplier.aspx?src=rpt&tar=costcentre"
type=String

title
value="Page Title"

w=400
h=500

Code:

function popupwindow01(url, title, w, h) {
  var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2);
  var top = (screen.height/3)-(h/2);  
   window.open(url, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', top='+top+', left='+left).focus();
}

Thanks in advance.

Hi there jlbantang,

IE requires that there are no spaces in the "Window Name".

So use one of these three options...

PageTitle
Page-Title
Page_Title

Thanks works like a charm. Since all webpage are declared is there also a way to close all popup window when user logout from main page.

Something like these

Code:

function closeall_hwnd(){

if (false == ndelivery.closed){
    ndelivery.close();
}

}

HTML

Code:

<a href="logout.aspx" onclick="closeall_hwnd();"> Logout </a>

but with no result.

Hi there jlbantang,

bearing in mind that many users have javascript disabled
or pop up windows blocked, this is how I would code it...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="language" content="english"> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">

<title></title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function init(){

   mywindow=null; 
   title='Page-Title';
   w=400;
   h=500;
   l=(screen.width-w)/2;
   t=(screen.height-h)/2;
   features='width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+l+',top='+t;

document.getElementById('openpop').onclick=function(){
if(mywindow) {
   mywindow.close();
 }
   mywindow=window.open(this.href,title,features);
   mywindow.focus();
   return false;
 }

document.getElementById('closepop').onclick=function(){
if(mywindow) {
   mywindow.close();
   }
  }
 }

   window.addEventListener?
   window.addEventListener('load',init,false):
   window.attachEvent('onload',init);
</script>

</head>
<body>

<div>
<a id="openpop" href="supplier.aspx?src=rpt&tar=costcentre">open pop-up window</a>
<a id="closepop" href="logout.aspx">log out</a>
</div>

</body>
</html>
