[Javascript] pop up window works only once, but works again w ith reload

Thu Aug 2 12:47:47 CDT 2001

Hello

when you say view the window again, do you mean have 2 popups with the same
content on the screen at the same time? If so then give them different
names, so instead of "plain", use "plain" + uniquevar
Try using a date (defined in milliseconds I think) for the uniquestring
maybe if there's nothing else to hand, something like:

var uniquevar=new Date();

If you haven't already seen it this is a good set of docs

Cheers

with reload

Hi :) First off, I am really new to javascript (3
days), but I'm not new to programming languages/logic.
(Thought I'd just warn you.)  ;)

Want:
little popup window, no options except to close(no
scrolling, etc.), presized, showing up at a certain
location on the screen

My solution:

<head>
.
.
.
function lil_window()
{lil_window=window.open("BlockBaseSR.htm", "plain",
"width=340,height=220,screenX=450,screenY=220,left=450,top=220");
}
</head>
<body>
.
.
.
<a href="BlockBaseSR.htm" onClick="lil_window();
return false;">Click here for System Requirements</a> 
      <noscript><a href="BlockBaseSR.htm"
target="_blank"> Click here for System
Requirements</a></noscript>
.
.
.
</body>

Problem:
Link works only once.  You need to refresh the page to
view the popup window again. I have no idea what's
going wrong.

What's your solution?

Thanks

-Andrea
