Firefox popups

[ejaboneta]

Seems like it'd be simple but I can't get a link to pop up in its own window in firefox. How can I do it?

Have you tried using Javascript? Opening a Popup isn't too difficult.

Show us your code?

 

Have you tried this page?:

get a link to pop up in its own window in firefox.

Well a popup is a new window and not the same. Or do you mean that you want a link to open in a new tab?

If you want to use a layer to display info within the same page you could use a modal script.

I want a link to open in a new window when clicked. Sorry, i didn't mean popups.

 

Well honestly.... I don't know javascript... so thats why I haven't been using it. But I was thinking some simple html. I haven't tried to open anything in a new window in a really long time, so I tried <a target="_blank"> and it works in IE but not Firefox.

 

I'll try using javascript.

target blank works fine for me. Maybe you mean that it opens up in a new tab instead of a new window. I don't think there is a way to work around that. It is a preference setting in Firefox to either open in a new window or a new tab.  I say keep it the way it is. Most Firefox users probably like using tabs over new windows.

Call the following javascript function from onclick event.

 

function new_window ()
{

path = "/blah.php";

window.open (path, "abcd", "height=300, width=340", menubar=0, status=0, toolbar=0 ).focus(); 	

return true;
}
