Popup Menu

rweide · June 23rd, 2005, 01:17 PM

I use

Code:

window.CreatePopup

to create a popup menu, which when users click items on the popup menu, I would execute a javascript function,

Code:

oPopup.document.body.innerHTML = "<a href='#' onclick='javascript:OpenWin(rptName);'>Test Item</a>";

to do a window.open of a spreadsheet.

But it kept giving my object expected error, and I suspect it has something to do with 'OpenWin' function?!

The OpenWin looks like this:

Code:

function openwin(rptName)
{
    var win= window.open(RptName,null,"width=1000, height=550,top=10,left=10,toolbar=1, status=1, resizable=1, location=1"); 
}

Can someone help, please?

It's probably case sensitivity - you are calling OpenWin(), but your function is called openwin()

HTH,

Thanks for the reply.

I did make sure all cases are correct. So it shouldn't be the case issue.
Somewhere I read about making calls from a popup menu to functions in the parent window. It seems to me that I need to somehow hide the popup first and then call the parent.function. But I don't how to do this?!

Any idea?

Give this a try...

Code:

function showPopup(){
    var myPopup = window.createPopup();
    var d = myPopup.document;
    var link = d.body.appendChild(d.createElement("a"));
    link.appendChild(d.createTextNode("Test Item"));
    link.href = "#";
    link.onclick = new Function("openWin('http://www.google.co.uk'); return false");
    myPopup.show(30, 30, 100, 100);
}
function openWin(rptName){
    var win= window.open(rptName,null,"width=1000, height=550,top=10,left=10,toolbar=1, status=1, resizable=1, location=1"); 
}

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks, Chris,

I'll try that once I'm done with another emergency.
