popups and ns / mozilla

[g00fy]

hi to all,

just a little help pls :)

i have a script that works fine in ie but not in ns or mozilla (same same really:) )

i figure its not the way i'm getting window dimensions cause i have another script that resizes according to resolution that uses same method and it works in ns.

var win = null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,resize){
LeftPosition = (screen.width)? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height)? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable='+resize+',status'
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
} 

** ns gives me no response at all, and popups are enabled in the browser?

** need to fix this because most of my links use this script

thanx to all in advance

kind regards,

g00fy

Can you post a link(with the url widgetized) so we can see how you are calling the function.

In the settings variable that you are using to declare window features, there is one difference between browsers. IE uses top= and left= but Netscape uses screenX= and screenY= -- so you need to list both to catch all browsers.

However, that alone should not completely stop the window from opening. I don't quite get what the variable win is doing - I don't think it's needed. Try changing

win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)

to

window.open(mypage,myname,settings)

If that works, just drop the line var win = null as well.

thanx for the replies,

i tried the code adjustment but it didnt work :(

the url of the page is <sorry, no personal urls>

the 'contact us' & 'privacy' links to the left use this function as well as others on other pages but this will give you the idea.

im calling it with

<a href="javascript:NewWindow('contact.html','contact','350','300','no','no')" onmouseover="window.status='MaD Computing Solutions - Contact Information';return true" onmouseout="window.status='MaD Computing Solutions';return true">

as i say all links are fine in ie

this is my code now:

function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,resize){
 <!-- if browser is IE //-->
if (document.all){
LeftPosition = (screen.width)? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height)? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable='+resize+',status'
window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
}
<!-- browser = NS6 //-->
else {
LeftPosition = (screen.width)? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height)? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',screenX='+TopPosition+',screenY='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable='+resize+',status'
window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
}
} 

kind regards,
