[thelist] Multiple-Window Javascript

[Janis Joseph]

Hi Palyne,

Garden variety DW code seems to work okay -- at least in IE and NS 4+ :
_____________________________________

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features)

  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>

<p><a href="#"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('popup.html','popup1','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes
,width=300,height=400')">Help1</a></p>
<p><a href="#"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('popup2.html','popup2','scrollbars=yes,resizable=ye
s,width=300,height=400')">Help2</a></p>

I've posted a working sample here:

(But even tho it works, it's not elegant. The first popup hides behind the
other windows -- some users might think it's gone....)

Is it possible that your popup windows include some self-closing script?

HTH,
