this did not opened the window......

**gep13** · Jun 16th, 2010, 12:04 PM

Hey,

Are you getting any JavaScript errors on the page? If so, what are they?

I suspect the problem here is that it can't find Default2.aspx.

Gary

**Tommy.net** · Jun 16th, 2010, 12:10 PM

how to catch the JavaScript errors throwing by the page?

this is what i have in the Default2.aspx:

Code:

<&#37;@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.vb" Inherits="Default2" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body style="background:blue">
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

**avrail** · Jun 16th, 2010, 12:17 PM

Code:

**avrail** · Jun 16th, 2010, 12:28 PM

i test it for IE8 and Firefox and it working with single quotes

**Tommy.net** · Jun 16th, 2010, 12:30 PM

this is what i have:

Code:

 function open()
    {
    window.open('Default2.aspx','BlueWindow','width=400,height=400');
    }

but it did not work

**avrail** · Jun 16th, 2010, 12:36 PM

ok, let's do it in another way

in your page load add these

Code:

Button3.Attributes.Add( "onclick", "open();return false;" );

and try it

**avrail** · Jun 16th, 2010, 12:44 PM

hey, if this didn't work with you, so please make sure that you allow scripting on your browser

**Tommy.net** · Jun 16th, 2010, 01:13 PM

I don't know if this one is the same with you guys, but here... Going back to your code...

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function open()
        {
        window.open("Default2.aspx","BlueWindow","width=400,height=400");
        }
</script>

<asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" Text="Open" OnClientClick="open()" />

From my experience, that runat="server" and JavaScript don't mix. If you want to execute this one in JavaScript use this one instead

Code:

<input type="button" id="Button3" value="Open" onclick="open()" />

If you want to keep the runat="server" part, you have to type your code in the aspx.vb file, like so:

Code:

Response.Redirect("Default2.aspx")

**avrail** · Jun 16th, 2010, 11:07 PM

hey Tommy,
what's going with You ?
still facing problems

**gep13** · Jun 17th, 2010, 01:31 AM

Claude,

That isn't quite true.

The runat=server attribute is definitely required, as this indicates that the button control is an ASP.Net Control, and will be treated as such when the page is parsed by the ASP.Net engine. Without it, the button will not function.

What the OP could do though is not use an ASP.Net Control, but rather an HTML control, such as <input> with a type of Button, and then use the onclick event do to the window.open.

Tommy.Net, it would appear that the function name "open" is reserved, that is why it is not working. Change you function name to something other than open, and it should work.

Gary

Yep, I know. That's why I suggested he could try changing the <asp:Button> control with the <input> tag. I have the exact problem with JavaScript recently. I keep on reviewing and re-typing my script but I still found no errors, the function won't execute. Changing the ASP.NET control to a HTML tag solves it since I don't need any server side scripts.

hey Claude,
tommy codes should be work fine, the most important thing is that, we need to know why this happens.

**Tommy.net** · Jun 17th, 2010, 08:31 AM

nope...........the problem is not yet solved

**Tommy.net** · Jun 17th, 2010, 08:35 AM

when i changed the function name from open to open1 then a postback takes place but did not opened the new window............

earlier when i tried with the function name open then no postback takes place

suggessions?

**gep13** · Jun 17th, 2010, 10:08 AM

This is the code that I used:

Code:

<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function opengary() {
        alert("hi");
            window.open("WebForm1.aspx", "BlueWindow", "width=400,height=400");
            return false;
        }
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="return opengary()" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>

**avrail** · Jun 17th, 2010, 11:45 AM

hey tommy,

**gep13** · Jun 18th, 2010, 01:11 AM

Hey,

Did you take the code exactly as I posted above?

If so, I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work?!?

Can you post ALL the code that you are currently using?

Which browser are you using? The way to see JavaScript errors varies based on which browser you are using.

Gary

**avrail** · Jun 18th, 2010, 03:48 AM

hey,
about how to do it, let us know first which browser you are using,

**Tommy.net** · Jun 18th, 2010, 11:29 AM

ok now i get it working.......geps code is working good for me.......

what was the fault in the code that i posted in my 1st post of this thread?Was it the function name open?

one more thing i would like to ask:i am using the IE7 browser......so how to check what error does my javascript code is throwing?

**avrail** · Jun 18th, 2010, 11:39 AM

good to hear this at last,
actually I used IE8 and from tools there is an item named Developer tools,
this tool you can use it for debugging your JavaScript codes, I don't really know is it exist for IE7 or not,
but i believe that you can check for that on google
don't forget to mark the thread as resolved

i cant find the tool in my IE8.......can you please help me

**gep13** · Jun 18th, 2010, 11:58 AM

Yes, it was the function name that was causing the problem.

In IE8, go to Tools | Developer Tools.
