pop up issue with back and forward buttons

Codeman0013 · 08-20-2007, 03:31 PM

Code:

<li><a href="http://www.teamsoy.com/cody/pii.html" onClick="popup = window.open('http://www.teamsoy.com/cody/pii.html', 'PopupPage', 'height=1500,width=1300,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,status=yes'); return false" target="_blank">Premier</a></li>

looking at that code can anyone tell me why when it pops up there is no toolbar back and forward buttons?

In Firefox it shows the toolbar...but in IE7, it has one that shows a toolbar and ANOTHER page that does not because of the 'target="_blank"' so you're basically telling IE7 to open the page twice (but Firefox is smart enough to know to just open one page).

IE7 has problems showing toolbars (it has problems in general...) for some weird reason. Since you WANT to show everything, why not just bypass the JS popup and just use target?

HTML Code:

<li><a href="http://www.teamsoy.com/cody/pii.html" target="_blank">Premier</a></li>

Since you haven't explained why you're doing the pop up thing...I guess that's why I'm confused why you even went that route.

I am doing it because when i did the about_blank it wasnt opening in a full screen i want the window to open full screen maximized any suggestions on this would be great if you have them.

Ah, I didn't notice that because I must have a bigger resolution than you do, so it just looked like any about_blank opening window. With that in mind (and the fact that javascript popups typically get blocked) ...it's not really worth it.

Toolbar works with Firefox...but in IE7, it refers to the command bar. Yeah, that's pretty retarded...I don't get why IE doesn't get with the program.

is there any code for ie at all that will bring that in?

Looks like "location" will do it, actually...

HTML Code:

<li><a href="#" onClick="popup = window.open('http://www.teamsoy.com/cody/pii.html', 'PopupPage', 'height=1500,width=1300,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,status=yes,location=yes'); return false">Premier</a></li>
