[thelist] Basic JavaScript Help?

Wed Sep 26 06:11:37 CDT 2001

My brain is definitely not in gear this morning (nothing to do with this
migraine, of course...): I often use a bit of script to open a small pop-up
on click as follows:

<head>
<stuff>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openWin1() {
  n =
open('help.htm','_blank','width=450,height=450,menubar=no,scrollable=yes,res
izable=yes');
}
// -->
</script>
</head>

and then

<body>
A brief <a href="javascript:openWin1()" onMouseOver="window.status='An
explanation of the terms'; return true">explanation</a>
</body>

On the page I'm working on now, I will probably need a whole series of these
pop-ups but I'm failing to work out how to modify the script and link to
open up help2.htm, help3.htm, etc.  The only way I can see at the moment is
to have separate functions (function openWin2(2), function openWin2()) etc.

Any pointers very gratefully received.
