open 
Opens a new web browser window.Method of
 window
 
Implemented in
 JavaScript 1.0


JavaScript 1.2: added several new windowFeatures
 


Syntax 
open(URL, windowName[, windowFeatures])
Parameters 
URL
 A string specifying the URL to open in the new window. See the Location object for a description of the URL components.
 
windowName
 A string specifying the window name to use in the TARGET attribute of a FORM or A tag. windowName can contain only alphanumeric or underscore (_) characters.
 
windowFeatures
 A string containing a comma-separated list determining whether or not to create various standard window features. These options are described in the following section.
 


Description 
In event handlers, you must specify window.open() instead of simply using open(). Due to the scoping of static objects in JavaScript, a call to open() without specifying an object name is equivalent to document.open().

The open method opens a new Web browser window on the client, similar to choosing New, then Navigator Window from the Navigator File menu. The URL argument specifies the URL contained by the new window. If URL is an empty string, a new, empty window is created.

You can use open on an existing window, and if you pass the empty string for the URL, you will get a reference to the existing window, but not load anything into it. You can, for example, then look for properties in the window.

windowFeatures is an optional string containing a comma-separated list of options for the new window (do not include any spaces in this list). After a window is open, you cannot use JavaScript to change the windowFeatures. You can specify the following features:

Table 1.4 Optional features to specify for a new window. windowFeatures  Description  
alwaysLowered
 (JavaScript 1.2) If yes, creates a new window that floats below other windows, whether it is active or not. This is a secure feature and must be set in signed scripts. 
 
alwaysRaised
 (JavaScript 1.2) If yes, creates a new window that floats on top of other windows, whether it is active or not. This is a secure feature and must be set in signed scripts. 
 
dependent
 (JavaScript 1.2) If yes, creates a new window as a child of the current window. A dependent window closes when its parent window closes. On Windows platforms, a dependent window does not show on the task bar.

 If yes, creates the standard browser directory buttons, such as What's New and What's Cool.
 
height
 (JavaScript 1.0 and 1.1) Specifies the height of the window in pixels.

 (JavaScript 1.2) If no (or 0), disables most hotkeys in a new window that has no menu bar. The security and quit hotkeys remain enabled. 
 
innerHeight
 (JavaScript 1.2) Specifies the height, in pixels, of the window's content area. To create a window smaller than 100 x 100 pixels, set this feature in a signed script. This feature replaces height, which remains for backwards compatibility. 
 
innerWidth
 (JavaScript 1.2) Specifies the width, in pixels, of the window's content area. To create a window smaller than 100 x 100 pixels, set this feature in a signed script. This feature replaces width, which remains for backwards compatibility.

 If yes, creates a Location entry field.

resizable
 If yes, allows a user to resize the window.
 
screenX
 (JavaScript 1.2) Specifies the distance the new window is placed from the left side of the screen. To place a window offscreen, set this feature in a signed scripts.

status

 If yes, creates the standard browser toolbar, with buttons such as Back and Forward.
 
width
 (JavaScript 1.0 and 1.1) Specifies the width of the window in pixels. 
 
z-lock
