Pop up window again....

I have another question about the pop up window I made a while ago... I need to specify the width and the height of the window that is made....

I was wondering if it is meant to go in the code like this:

onClick="javascript:window.open('text/oneday.txt',menubar='no',status='no',toolbar='no',width="400",height="600")";

that should work!

taken from another site:

Code:

---

remote=window.open("http://www.enteract.com/~rhillego/courses/create_remote.html","remotewindow","width=100,height=250");

---

What happens is that it resizes the button image to that size for some stupid reason!! :) Oh well I will work it out... :)

the onclick should go in the button but the width and height should go into the javascript function

Try moving the code to a JavaScript function and just call the function in the ONCLICK event:

Code:

---

function openWin(){
window.open('yourpage.html','newWin',menubar='no',status='no',toolbar='no',height=300,width=300);
}

<input TYPE = "button" VALUE = "Open" ONCLICK = "openWin();">

Chris

i think the problem lies in your "" marks

you have this:

Code:

---

onClick="java script:window.open('text/oneday.txt',menubar='no',status='no',toolbar='no',width="400",height="600")";

---

try this

Code:

---

onClick="java script:window.open('text/oneday.txt',menubar='no',status='no',toolbar='no',width='400',height='600')";

---

That's not necessarily true. I had the same problem. The only fix was to put the code in a function and call the function in the ONCLICK event. More strange browser behavior.

I will try changing the quote maks today.. Unfortunately I don't have time to change this before this meeting they are having so the changes will have to be made after the meeting is over.... :)

I saw an example of the way you are doing it, try this.

Code:

---

<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Open window2"  onClick="msgWindow=window.open('text/oneday.txt','window2','menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no,width=400,height=600')">

---

notice ther is only one set of ''

I will try doing both to this problem today as I now have my computer back from the meeting. :)

Nope it still doesn't work.... This is bugging me now... Though I have vhanged it slightly... I am now calling an ASP file into the new window which helps slighlty because it auto formats the words... The window is still to big.... This is really strange.

can you post the code Chris? jus thte part that opens the window??

I don't know if this is what you are trying but it works

Code:

---

<form>
<input type=button value="http://www.vbforums.com"
onClick="msgWindow=window.open('http://www.vbforums.com','','menubar=yes,status=yes,toolbar=yes, resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=640,height=480')">
 
</form>
