Pop up window again....

[chrismitchell]

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")";

[sail3005]

that should work!

taken from another site:

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

[chrismitchell]

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

[scoutt]

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:

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

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

i think the problem lies in your "" marks

you have this:

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

try this

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....

[scoutt]

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

<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 ''

[chrismitchell]

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

[chrismitchell]

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.

[scoutt]

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

[scoutt]

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

<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>

[chrismitchell]

Cheers scoutt, that last one worked like a treat.. Thanks again!!!!

[scoutt]

well it's about time.
I was playing around with another post and came acrossed it and said to myself, "self, you might have what chris is looking for" and tada,, cool glad it worked.

[chrismitchell]

Cool... Well cheers again Scoutt... It really helped. Its a shame that my HTML problem is still there!
