Open a page in a new window

hi guys! This post is what was on mikeythedj's question in help and support so I thought I would share this with you guys too!
All you need to do is the following:
Code: Select all
<script>
onClick=window.open('url to open','window name','attribute1,attribute2');
</script>
Replace 'url to open' with the web address eg: window.open('google.com');
replace 'window name' with the name of the window (useful for quick referencing) eg window.open('website','google search engine');
and replace the attributes with any of the following:
width=300
Use this to define the width of the new window.

height=200
Use this to define the height of the new window.

resizable=yes or no
Use this to control whether or not you want the user to be able to resize the window.

scrollbars=yes or no
This lets you decide whether or not to have scrollbars on the window.

toolbar=yes or no
Whether or not the new window should have the browser navigation bar at the top (The back, foward, stop buttons..etc.).

location=yes or no
Whether or not you wish to show the location box with the current url (The place to type http://address).

directories=yes or no
Whether or not the window should show the extra buttons. (what's cool, personal buttons, etc...).

status=yes or no
Whether or not to show the window status bar at the bottom of the window.

menubar=yes or no
Whether or not to show the menus at the top of the window (File, Edit, etc...).

copyhistory=yes or no
Whether or not to copy the old browser window's history list to the new window.

Here is a sample code:
Code: Select all
<script>
onClick new.window('www.google.com','google','width=300,height=200');
</script>
the main bit you want is the URL and don't forget to put: ; at the end of your java command.

Thanks for checking this out!
