Webviewer and Javascript

Hi,

How do I open a new window in my webbrowser1 object on my form?

For example, navigating to <a href="http://www.google.com">GOOGLE</a> is fine.

However, the link: <A HREF="javascript:newwindow()" >New popup</a> will open in IE. Can I force the link to open in me webbrowser, and a new instance of, instead of going to IE?

Here is the JS code:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--hide

function newwindow()
{
window.open('mypage.htm','jav','width=300,height=200,resizable=yes');
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Any help would be much appreciated.

try the before navigate event

This does not catch the data unfortunately.

I suppose I need to parse the JS function to get the URL, but not sure if this is feasable. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts?

as many times when a new window is opened by java script, some variables are passed with the url, as parameters, it will probably take more than the url to make it work correctly

if any events of the web browser can catch the navigation it should have the complete url with parameters, you can the cancel the navigation and open it in your browser

other possibilities are to temporarily set your browser as default browser
or not a good solution, but desperate measures.............
loop through shell windows, find the new one, get the url and close, then open in your browser

Thanks WestConn1, couple of good ideas there.

On the point "Make my browser the default browser". How would I acheive this as it maybe a quick fix for me?

I'll have a look in the forums to see if I can find out...

Thanks again.

Setting the default browser was pretty straight-forward. However, it did not solve my JavaScript popup window issue.

On the following site, there are a couple of "Open Window 1" links.

If you open these in a VB Webbrowser, IE will popup with the new window, rather than your own webbrowser. There are no events that I can see to handle/prevent this and successfully gather the URL to open in my own browser.

I would appreciate any guidance on this as I am at a loss at the moment.

Many thanks!

Anyone have any suggestions on this please?
