[RESOLVED] Javascript window.open()

[the182guy]

Paypal has given me this snippet which is a image link that is supposed to open a new window on click to show that an item has been added to the shopping cart, but its not firing the new window up. Here it is:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('https://www.paypal.com/cart/add=1&
[email protected]&item_name=oil+change+service&
item_number=1111&amount=29.99&image_url=http%3A//www.davesgarage.com/logo.gif&
return=http%3A//www.davesgarage.com/success.html&cancel_return=http%3A//www.davesgarage.com/cancel.html&
no_note=1','cartwin','width=600,height=400,scrollbars,location,resizable,status');">

Any ideas?

Do you have a pop-up blocker turned on? These sometimes block javascript from opening new windows.

Yeah, normally FF tells me when a popup is being blocked and it doesn't when I do this. Doesn't work in IE either. The weird thing is if I use the simple examply on W3schools that uses a function it works fine on a normal URL but when I enter my long paypal URL it doesn't work.

You need to remove the CRLF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) from the end of each line of your code to keep the javascript on one line. I did this and was able to get your code working.
