ive been working on this website:

www.satworld.biz/new.shtml

and ive been looking for a javascript ... i want to make it to where, when people click a link, a whole new window comes up, but i want the new window to be a certain size, no file, edit toolbars, backbuttons, etc, just the title toolbar (that has the minimuze, close window), and the page itself ...

i cant find the scipt whatsoever. i have found some sites that have them, but forgot where they are ...

does anyone know what im talking about? click a link, window comes up, nothing but the page itself, and the title toolbar .... and the variables are controlled by the javascript in each link itself ..

any help?

thanks in advance ...

<script type="text/javascript">
function openwindow()
{
window.open("http://www.url.com","my_new_window","toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,copyhistor y=yes,width=whatever,height=whatever")
}
</script>

And then just choose whatever options of those you want.

hehe ok sure you had a brain fart, ehh we all get them sometimes. :D

with that function you can use this

<a href="javascript:openwindow()">new window</a>

you can put the funtion in the head and the link wherever you want.

the body

generally it should go in the head, but it doesn't matter. personally I don't care for my javascript in the body (unless it has a specific purpose to be tehre) as it clutters up the code for the rest of the page.

I haven't had too many sites that were very in depth, so it doesn't clutter the rest of the code for me too bad.

if i put the main code in the head, but dont call it in the body (the link part of the code), will it give me an error in the page?

cuz im using SSI for most of the header code (except the page titles), and only half the pages will use this code...so dont want to put it in the header code if it gonna give me the error message ...

well, i like to keep clean websites if possible, makes it easy for upgrading, etc ... and looks better ...hehe

jsut a regular function won't if. so you can have it in the header and it shouldn't give you any trouble.

i also notice the :o in the code....

is it the :.o (without the . )?
scoutt

yeah sorry it does it by itself. it should be

javascript:openwindow()

Scoutt, JaeSun,

the 'f' of the word FUNCTION was capitalized, and will not properly declare a function that way. Heres the changed code...



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title><!---Head--->
<script>
function resize() {
h=(window.screen.availHeight * 2/3);
w=(window.screen.availWidth * 2/3);
t = (screen.Width) ? (screen.Width-w)/2 : 0;
l = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
resizeTo(w,h)
moveTo(t,l)
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="resize()";>
</body>
</html>
