[thelist] Apparent problem with NS on Mac: new window launch

Tue Aug 28 02:15:12 CDT 2001

You're welcome, Tony, glad I could help!  

A more elegant way that in the future will save you TONS of time, is to
employ your script as a relative linked file, like the following example:

<script language="JavaScript" src="popwindow.js">
</script>

popwindow.js is the script that holds the function.

This is a file that would reside on your server with all your other html
pages.  You do not need any html on this page, only the Script itself.  You
must however add the ".js" extension to the file.  Then add the above code
in your between your <head></head> tags on each page you want to employ your
function, and leave your event handlers as they are.

This is neat because now, when there is a problem with the script, you only
have to fix it once - of course in your case the issue was with event
handlers, so this whole thing I just wrote maybe doesn't even apply to
anything, but hey, maybe it will help someone out there, eh?

You could of course build the page with the pictures in ASP, PHP, Cold
Fusion or your favorite language, pass variables to the page for each new
picture, and have this whole thing solved with ONE page of HTML/Backend
language...but now I'm rambling...
