open link in a new window

[dasrasmikant]

hy,
I want to open the link in a new window but I will not use

window.open

method.
So like

top.location.href, parent.location.href, self.location .href

, is there any code for it .

Use target attribute.

Use target attribute.

but how can I set target attribute here. I think the target attribute can only use on <a> and <form> elements.

Yeah, If you don't want to use window.open, then use <a target="_blank" href="abc.htm">

Is there any special reason for not using window.open?
Pop up blockers..?

[dasrasmikant]

Yes for pop up blocker problem.
I cant use <a> tags because I want to go from a particular javascript function.

Popup blockers don't block all the windows opened with window.open, but that depends upon the element onclick of whom you opened the window and how many windows you open simultaneously.
Onclick of which element do you want to open the window?

Also, there is no other way out for that. Just think, if there were some other way, would the FF development team be not aware of that to update their popup blocker?
(I don't talk about IE, there can be a possibility that they are unaware of any such thing :p)

I am calling function by onclick events of a input button.
so can you share me the list of elements on which popup blocker works.

and what is code in window.open method for opening a new window with all bars ie address bars, menu bars, status bars etc

Input button is not meant for that purpose, so it will get blocked. You may use <button> for the same. It wont get blocked (I think).

I don't have that list. I just know few on them. Blockers work on input, and img and they don't work on a (sometimes and if href is blank) and button.

and what is code in window.open method for opening a new window with all bars ie address bars, menu bars, status bars etc

Here is the information on it.
