Window.open from OnClick event in framed env.

nancy · December 20th, 2004, 04:21 PM

Hi,
I'll try and make this simple, I'm trying to load a page from an OnClick event that needs first to load an alert window. All in a framed-based environment.

While "window.location" works fine, it's biggest caveat is that is loads the requested URL into the "mainframe" area when I'd like to open in a new browser window.

When using window.open, it doesn't work at all??

Here's the snippets of the code involved:

The code with the link:

<A HREF="#" target="_blank" onclick="confirm_prompta('bodycopy bodycopy bodycopy'); return false;">TheLink</A>

The javascript function:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>

Any help would greatly be appreciated,
Thanks

Nancy

Can you show the code with window.open that fails?

Alternatively just use:

Code:

<A HREF="http://www.theOtherSite.com" target="_blank" onclick="return confirm('bodycopy bodycopy bodycopy');">TheLink</A>

if you just want a plain new window.
