javascript window.open not working in IE

**coothead** · Aug 28th, 2012, 04:03 AM

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>
