Open Browser Window Error

Question

I use the Open Browser Window behavior with the <A>
onClick attribute for many images and text links on my site. Works
fine, UNTIL the page gets updated via a change on the main
template. Then the link gives me a javascript error. To fix I have
to pull up each page, open the behavior, OK to save and then resave
the page. No changes made, the code does not appear to change, but
then it works. As my site grows this is becoming more and more of a
nusiance to remeber to "fix" every page that has such behaviors on
it.
I have search the forum, but didn'[t come across a similiar
error. Has anyone seen this. Is there a fix
Thanks!

Answer 1

This means that your template does not contain the required
javascript for
the OpenBrowserWindow behavior in the head of the page. If it
did, then
every child page would contain the necessary code, and you
wouldn't have to
do the song and dance that you are doing.
Make sure it goes in a NON-EDITABLE region of the template
page.
The downside to this is that each page gets the code
(admittedly it's a
small bite) whether it needs it or not....
So - what you should do is open the particular page that has
just broken,
run through your procedure again (which writes the required
code into the
head of the page, and then copy that code (from
<script...> though
</script>), and paste it into the template page in the
same location. When
you save the template page, all child pages will be updated.
There's one nagging problem here, though. If the procedure
you describe is
working without error, then it is also true that DW is
writing that markup
into an EDITABLE region of the head of the page. If that's
the case, then
WHY IS A TEMPLATE UPDATE OVERWRITING THIS? I don't know -
would need to see
your page to know for sure....
