popup window using ASP and VBscript

[Raphael Gluck]

Hi everyone

I am having a little problem with an asp page.
I am trying to create a master/detail page, but on this occasion, it's only
a small amount of detail, so i want to create a small page, for the detail,
and have that pop up. something you would do for instance to show a link to
a larger graphic on your detail page.
It's obvious that i am doing something wrong, because instead of opening the
new page, in the pop up, the main page moves to the detail, and the pop up
window then opens up as an error.
For example here

http://www.tripak.me.uk/sublisting.asp?Item_ID=119&TexSpecID=34

Clicking on a link there will give me the detail page, but not where i want
it.

This is my code from the master page, and the error is probably here


<a href="info.asp? GradeID=<%=(rsS ublisting("Grad eID"))%>"
onClick="window .open('nameofwi ndow','','width =100,height=100 ');return
false"><%=rsSub Listing("Grades ")%></a>

Could someone point out what i have done wrong?

Thanks so much

Try

<A href="#"
onclick="window .open('nameofwi ndow','info.asp ?GradeID=<%=rsS ublisting("Grad e
ID")%>',width=1 00,height=100)" ><%=rsSubListin g("Grades")%> </A>

Re: popup window using ASP and VBscript

Thanks
I tried that, but it doesnt seem to work, I entered all this

<A href="#"
onclick="window .open('nameofwi ndow','info.asp ?GradeID=<%=rsS ublisting("Grad e
ID")%>',width=1 00,height=100)" ><%=rsSubListin g("Grades")%> </A>

And it just doesnt move. I can see an error triangle in the bottom of the
web page, line 188 which doesnt contain anything to help me
Have i misunderstood your script line? must i modify it?

Please help

Re: popup window using ASP and VBscript

The problem you're having has to do with javascript, not ASP. Try loading
your page and doing a view-source and debugging the client-side code after
checking what error the browser is reporting.

Re: popup window using ASP and VBscript

Thanks Ray, But still not

Can i ask you again are you sure this code is the correct one?

<A href="#"
onclick="window .open('nameofwi ndow','info.asp ?GradeID=<%=rsS ublisting("Grad e
ID")%>',width=1 00,height=100)" ><%=rsSubListin g("Grades")%> </A>


The error doesnt seem to be confined to one line, though the page displays.
Maybe i need to tell you more.
The page i am on is sublisting.asp
The page i am trying to get to pop up is called info.asp
When i roll over the mouse over the link, sublisting.asp? Item_ID etc...
I know you're way better at this than me, but arent i supposed to see
info.asp? etc...

Do i need to insert something into the ahref tag? instead of "#"

Please help

That's the problem with using javascript for links. You haven't provided a
method for non-javascript users. <a href="#"> will only take the user to
the top of the page.

What you need to do is:
<A href="info.asp? GradeID=<%=rsSu blisting("Grade ID")%>"
onclick="window .open('nameofwi ndow','info.asp ?GradeID=<%=rsS ublisting
("Grade ID")%>',width=1 00,height=100); return false" title="Open <%
=rsSublisting(" Grade ID")%> in a new window" target="_blank" ><%
=rsSubListing(" Grades")%></A>

The above does three things:
1. The return false allows users without javascript to open the page.
2. The title attribute indicates that the page will open in a new window.
For accessibility reasons, users should know that pages are going to open
in new windows.
3. The target attribute opens in a new window for non-javascript users.

Note: users with pop-up stoppers may still have problems with
target="_blank" , therefore, it might be better to omit it and suggest the
user open in a new window.

Re: popup window using ASP and VBscript

Thank you Adrienne

I tried your script yesterday, but it gave me errors as you can see,
I have just tried again, and now it's not giving me errors, but still not
achieving its purpose

It's opening the new page, but as a full sized browser window.
It's because i am VB illiterate, I guess that's bad.
I hope you can help me if you have a minute

Thanks so much

Everybody keeps mixing up the order of the parameters in window.open():

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp

Here's a better idea -- instead of "_blank", use TARGET="nameofw indow" and
omit the [return false]. And use a more descriptive window name, for crying
out loud. Your link should look something like this:

<A HREF="info.asp? GradeID=<%=rsSu blisting.Fields ("Grade ID").Value%>"
ONCLICK="window .open('','grade Details','heigh t=100,width=100 ')"
TITLE="Open <%=rsSublisting .Fields("Grade ID").Value%> in a new
window"
TARGET="gradeDe tails"[color=blue]
>[/color]

If scripting is defective or absent, this will open in a default-sized
window named "gradeDetai ls". If scripting is functional, the properly sized
(and named) window will be created with the click event, and will
immediately be used as the target of the anchor.
