Guidelines needed : multiple windows

spacy · April 12th, 2005, 02:21 AM

Hi..

I need to display 9 reports simultaneously on the screen
on the click of a link.

The approach i have applied is : on the click of the link,
open a page "a.aspx" on the load of which i have written
9 window.open statements. My problem is with placement
of windows on the screen. If the client screen is bigger,
the windows should adjust accordingly.

How do i achieve this? Is my approach right?
Can someone suggest me a better approach?

Cheers..

You can either use javascript to do this or a 3rd party control such as BrowserHawk to find the dimensions of a client's screen size. Then you can take action according to each size.

What are the pixel dimensions of these reports?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I have tried using javascript, but i get an error "Name 'x' is not declared" when i write this:

Response.Write("<script language=javascript>var x=screen.availheight/3;var y=screen.availwidth/3;")

Response.Write("window.open" & "('page1.aspx','','height=" & x & ",width=300,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no ,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,left=10,top=20' );</script>")

The error is in the second response.write statement. Please help

Cheers..

JavaScript is case sensitive:

availHeight
availWidth

Thanks Peter.
I changed the response.write statement to:

Response.Write("<script language=javascript>var x=screen.availHeight/3;var y=screen.availWidth/3;window.open('AAA.aspx','_new','height=' + x + ',width=' + y + ',resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=n o,menubar=no,location=no,left=10,top=20');</script>")

And it has solved the error

Ah. Right. I didn't catch this the first time. They don't need to be in one statement if you don't want them to be. But as a result you moved x from the context of .NET to the context of the javascript. This would have worked too:

Response.Write("<script language=javascript>var x=screen.availheight/3;var y=screen.availwidth/3;")

Response.Write("window.open" & "('page1.aspx','','height=' + x + ',width=300,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no ,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,left=10,top=20' );</script>")

Also another suggestion: Unless you just need to make a typo correction, it's usually better to add another post to the thread if you solve something before someone else posts instead of editing a post. (Then subscribers get the update in their email too.)

Thanks for the suggestion, Peter.
I will keep that in mind henceforth.

I think there is a better way of putting in your javascript code in your aspx page. You dont need to do Response.Write for that. That makes things ugly.

in your page you can add a script tag and put your code inside a function.

Code:

<script language="javascript">
function Show()
{
    var x = screen.availHeight / 3;
    var y = screen.availWidth / 3;
    var Att = 'height=' + x + ',width=' + y + ',resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,left=10,top=20'
    window.open('AAA.aspx', '_new', Att);
}
</script>

Now from your page you just need to add code to invoke this javascript. (either directly in the HTML or using Attributes.Add)
