Re^2: Opening an HTML::Template page in new window

Perfect. Not really a Perl thing, but here's what worked:

HTML:
<a href="javascript:help('homehelp');">
<img src="../images/help.gif" alt="home" /></a>

JAVASCRIPT:
function help (tmpl_to_open) {
    window.open("http://foobar.com/instances/help?rm=sh&pg="+tmpl_to_o
+pen,"optional_page_name","scrollbars=1,location=0,directories=0,statu
+s=0,width=550,height=375,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0");
}
[download]

Thanks!

Note, however, that href="javascript:..." is considered harmful.	[reply]

Point well taken. Unless, of course, it is a closed system that requires Javascript to be enabled. Which this is. Now, back to Perl everybody :) —Brad "The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men." George Eliot	[reply]

Hi, Just do 'alert' the `window.open` parameter. And one more thing while setting optional parameters in the window.open function, `"scrollbars=1,location=0,directories=0,statu +s=0,width=550,height=375,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0"` [download] I guess it might be like `"scrollbars=1;location=0;directories=0;statu +s=0;width=550;height=375;toolbar=0;menubar=0;resizable=0"` [download] Before that, Try with some static pages and make sure that javascript is working fine. Otherwise i'm sure that you may miss some values which is dynamically passing into the `window.open` function. Thanks. -kulls	[reply] [d/l] [select]
