allow a user to open multiple new windows as they click to see new

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this.

all that you forgot was target="_blank" inside ur tag so just copy and past that into it.

hope this helps. tell me if it doesnt because i did test it and it seemed to work ok.

and P.S. this is more HTML than javascript

target=_blank>

I think this just opens the page in the existing browser window. In any
case "target" has been deprecated so the code might not validate. Hence
the need to use Javascript, right?

not really because it should validate and if it doesnt try it in a few web brosers and see if it works and no dude that really doesnt call for javascript to be used in this case, but if you so wish you can, i could probibly dig one up for you but it may take me a minite or two to dig through my javascript book just give the word.
O and dude no with
<a href="http://www.tonyterzi.c om" target=_blank>T ony Terzi</a>
it opens in new browser window
hence target=_blank

Re: Open new browser - multiple links per page - how?

Yes, that's my understanding. It's got to be in Javascript.

The many Javascript solutions I've found only work for one new browser
window being spawned. So, if you click on one link, you can't click on
the others until that first link's 'new' browser is closed.

I'm still searching for a solution. Any help gratefully appreciated.

All the best,
Geoff Fox

i think he wants them to open 1 at a time not all at ounce but i could be mistaken.... should i still look for my code about opening new window for one at a time with all links included?

The + doesn't work in that code the way you think it would in anything
but IE.

Tested:

<div id="test" onclick='
window.open("a. html","_blank", "");
window.open("b. html","_blank", "");
window.open("c. html","_blank", "");
window.open("d. html","_blank", "");
window.open("e. html","_blank", "");
'>
Open 5 new windows by one click here
</div>

IE: 5 new windows
FF: 5 new windows
Opera 9: 1 new window with 4 popups blocked.

Re: Open new browser - multiple links per page - how?

Thanks all. I appreciate the help, but this wasn't exactly what I
wanted to do. I apologize if I've described my problem incorrectly.

I want to be able to open new windows, one at a time, as my visitors
click individual links. In the Javascript I've tried, once the first
new window is open, no other new windows can be spawned. You have to
close the first spawned window, which is now hidden under the active
window you're trying to click on.

In all the solutions I've tried,

This seems to do what you want. At least it works for me in FF and IE.

That depends on the browser. In a tabbed browser, it most likely
opens a new tab. In, e.g., IE, it opens a new window.
Whether that counts as a "new browser", I'll leave for the philosophers
(I guess the best test of whether it's a new browser or a new window
in the same browser is to crash one and see if it takes the other one
down with it :).

In any case "target" has been deprecated so the code might not
validate.

It's not deprecated. It's a standard feature of HTML 4.01
Transitional, and any document using the appropriate DOCTYPE
should have no problem validating.

Hence the need to use Javascript, right?

I would question the need for a new window first. After that,
I'll question a design that requires Javascript.
