Open New Browser Window Behavior Issue

I've got a site that has a list of names of deceased people.
When a viewer clicks on a name I have a new browser window open
that is a small memorial page specific for that person. This list
is fairly long so the viewer has to scroll down a ways to get to
the bottom. If the viewer clicks a name towards the bottom and then
closes that new browser window they have to scroll all the way back
down and find where they left off. This of course, is assuming they
are going in order to view the memorial pages for each person. Is
there a way to make the "original page (with the list of names)"
not refresh to the top of the page? I'm using and would like to
continue using tables and not layers or styles.
Information can be sent onto [email protected]
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Cody

Cody,
It sounds like you are using <a href="#"
Try using <a href="javascript:;"
Or better yet, use David Powers' Smart Link:

Open New Browser Window Behavior

I have set a behavior in Dreamweaver CS3 to open a new
browser window to a set size and to only show scroll bars if
needed. I have left all other attributes unchecked. This works fine
in all browsers including IE6 but IE7 ignores all my settings and
just opens a normal full size browser window showing scroll bars,
address bar, menus etc. Can anyone tell me how to make IE7 open a
new browser window to my settings using the behaviors in
Dreamweaver CS3?
Thanks.
Russ.

I cannot reproduce this in IE7. Your OBW behavior works just
the way you
want for me. In your code, make sure that this is all on one
line -
<li id="cam"><a href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('
http://jkbmwebcam.co.uk/','webcam','width=640,height=480')">Webcam</a></li>

Opening new browser window

Hi,
this piece of code use to work for opening a new browser, but now it has problem in opening browser window. There is no exception thrown, can anyone has suggestion whats wrong in this. I am using JRE1.3. I have a feeling that something is conflicting with IE (I tried on 5.0,5.5,6.0)
thanks
Syed
try
URL url = new URL(urlString);
applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(url, "_blank");
} // End of Try
catch(MalformedURLException e)
logs("Exception in opening new browser window: " + e);
} // End of Catch

Same here.
Worked fine under IE5.x to IE6, JRE 1.3.x to 1.4. OS used were W2k and WinXP, no prob here.
Now on some PCs the windows don't pop up anymore. No exception, no indicator of what's going wrong.
Any hints?
J�rgen

Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
Here is the link:
http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your missing a value on the HREF. In your code you have this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
and it should be this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.

Open New Browser window with "Server Behavior"

I know how to open a link in a new browser window by going to
the Behaviors panel. The site I'm working on is using PHP, so
instead of a Behaviors panel all it shows is a "Server Behaviors"
panel. Under the "Server Behaviors" there is't an option to open a
link in a new browser window. Should I be looking someplace
different or is there another way to add this function to a link?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Makes no difference whether youre working on a php site or an
ordinary
htm site you still open a new browser window in exactly the
same way.

Open new browser window

it also opens in the parent window at the same time. For
instance, I have a home page and when you click on a link I want it
to open up in a new browser window. so i set the behavior to do
this and it works. However, the first window also changes to the
new link so I then have two windows open with the same link I just
clicked on. The main window doesn't stay as the home page. any
suggestions? Thanks.

Also David Powers' Smart Link extension may come in handy:

How do i update the session scope variable using javascript?
Thanks and Regards,

Opening new browser window from View Library links

On some of the documentation pages, e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/ias.html , a new browser window is opened using target=new_win in the HTML code. This window will be re-used if the user goes back and clicks on another, similar link. It's better to use target=_blank for this purpose, because that would ensure that a new browser window is opened every time.

You would have to a) swap the image, and b) expose a
previously hidden layer
that superimposes the image with a transparent GIF on which
the onClick
behavior has been applied.

JavaScript to open new browser window

I have an intranet page from which users can select various
Captivate 2 movies. When they select the link I use a simple
JavaScript function to open an appropriately sized window to run
the movie in, as they are of various sizes and some so large I need
to do away with toolbars and the like.
To save the users having to return to the Intranet page to
open another movie I want to offer them a button at the end of a
movie which would have the same effect - open a new browser window
appropriately sized for the particular movie they choose.
This should be easy: create a button, choose Execute
JavaScript and put the script in the box. Only it doesn't work.
Scouring the forums I found a few potential answers, of which
the most promising seemed to be to put the function in the
standard.js file that Captivate 2 creates and then call the
function from the Execute JavaScript dialogue. I also tried putting
the function into the HTML that is created when the Captivate is
published. Also didn't work.
I've tried various permutations in the Execute JavaScript
dialogue too. Do I or do I not need to preface the line with
javascript: or javascript:function? I tried all options without
success.
It would help my nerves if every time I republish a new
attempt it didn't overwrite standard.js!
If I could solve this I could also probably solve my other
requirement to close the browser window when the movie stops - I
gave up on that last year as not being worth the effort.
Any help will be very gratefully received.

Hi again
Loved your statement:
The more one learns the more one discovers one doesn't know!
A former co-worker once shared this with me. It was shared
with him by a former college professor. It's quite amazing when you
think about it. I refer to it as
The Circle of Knowledge
Draw a small circle on a piece of paper. Everything that fits
inside the circle represents your total knowledge of any given
field. The edge of the circle represents everything
you are currently
aware of that you
don't know about it.
Now let's assume you learn a vast amount about the subject.
Just look at how large your circle has become! But look at the
other effect. Look at how much more
you are currently
aware of that you
don't know about it.
If you would like to ship something my way, I'll be happy to
see if it runs without issue on my PC or if I see what you are
seeing. If not, that's cool too. Just thought I'd toss out the
offer. rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com. Address intentionally

Opening New Browser window for click event on an image

hi all,
I want someone to help me out solving the problem of opening
a new browser window on the mouse click event of an image or a
button etc.... The new window would contain the datagrid details
from the main window, but in an expanded form. If at all there is a
solution, I even want to know whether there is anyway for sizing
the poped up window,because I dont want the new poped up window to
cover the entire screen.
For getting better idea of my problem, the best example I
could give is the popup window that appears when we click on the
preview button while posting the message to the forum.
Someone please do help me out in this regard.
Thanks,
amar.

I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
popup.

Cache problem for servlet opening new browser window

Requirement:
I have JSP page say summary.jsp with link "print account summary"
When user clicks on this link, new browser open with PDF document of summary.jsp
This new browser window should not have address bar and toolbar.
Solution:
Servlet called PrintSummary which sets contenttype=application/pdf and sends the data to outputstream.
href of link is
Java script function is:
function openWindow(url){
window.open(url,'blank','toolbar=no')
Problem:
Since the URL of this new window is
http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary
Even if I click the "Print summary" link for account2,
being the same URL (http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary) it accesses the existing page in the cache which is created for account 1.
In href if I just use servlet url as
I get the expected behaviour but then I don't have control on browser appearance and browser window will be with address bar and toolbar.
The only option I could think of was changing URL as follows:
<% String url ="javascript:openWindow('PrintSummary? var1="+ Math.random()+"')";
So that URL is different all the time
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Open New Browser Window in CS4 opens behind existing window - HELP!

I am creating a website in CS4, and everything works fine EXCEPT ona few pages, for every link I have set up to open in a new browser window, the new window opens BEHIND the existing window, so that you cannot see it. I tried one solution that said to type "javascript:;" in the href (link) box, but that did not correct the problem. Any ideas?
