Here's my javascript code at window.js:
function adminWindow() {
var fileName="http://www.mysite.org/admin/index.php";
detailwindow = window.open(fileName, "admin", "width=700, height=595, top=5, left=5, toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes");
detailwindow.focus();
return false;
}
Here's my php code that sends the message:
$temppw = "temp";
$resetpw = crypt($temppw, $salt);
echo "<div align='center'><span class='txtBL14bC'>Information on resetting your password has been mailed to your email address! Please check it and follow the instructions!</span></div>";
$e_mail = $emailIN;
$title = "Reset Password Request for Madison Academy Admin Access";
$content = "<html>";
$content .= "<head>";
$content .= "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript' SRC='http://www.mysite.org/library/window.js'></SCRIPT>";
$content .= "<style type='text/css'>";
$content .= "BODY,P { font-family: arial,helvetic,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; }";
$content .= "A { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; }";
$content .= "A:visited { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; }";
$content .= "A:hover { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: #660033; }";
$content .= "</style>";
$content .= "</head>";
$content .= "<body>";
$content .= "<p>Dear ".$nameIN.",</p>";
$content .= "<p>Your request to reset your password has been received.<br>Once your password has been reset you will be required to change your password.</p>";
$content .= "<p>To change your password, you will need the following information:</p>";
$content .= "<p>Username: ".$userIN."<br>Password: ".$temppw."</p>";
$content .= "<p><a href='http://www.mysite.org/admin/activate.php?id=".$idIN."&code=".$resetpw."&activate=reset' onClick='return adminWindow()'>Click Here</a> to finish activating your new password.</p>";
$content .= "<p>Thanks!<br>The Madison Academy Webmaster</p>";
$content .= "<p>This is an automated response, please do not reply!</p>";
$content .= "</body>";
$content .= "</html>";
$headers = "From:webmaster<webmaster@mysite.org>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To:webmaster@mysite.org\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"ISO-8859-1\" \r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();
mail("$e_mail","$title","$content","$headers");
Everything works as it should, except that the admin window script.
I feel awkward saying 'welcome', as I am new here too, but it seems a tradition to respond to first-time posters with 'Welcome'... so Welcome [webmasterworld.com]
My guess would be that the email client doesn't support JavaScript, so it is just doing the <a href='http://www.mysite.org/admin/activate.php?id=".$idIN."&code=".$resetpw."&activate=reset'> part, and adminWindow() never gets called.
I have 2 suggestions. neither of them are very elegant, so I hope someone with more knowledge can suggest something better.
One solution might be to change the window attributes using a function called by the onload() method. I think this is really difficult and browser dependant. For example, in Netscape, the following:
<script language="Javascript">
onload = function() {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserWrite");
window.statusbar.visible=false;
window.menubar.visible=false;
window.locationbar.visible=false;
window.toolbar.visible=false;
window.statusbar.visible=false;
}
</script>
You either need to sign your script or call the 'enablePrivilege' method, which brings up a dialog box telling the visitor you are increasing privileges...
Another solution is to have the <a href > tag in the email refer to an html file, which calls your adminWindow() in its onload() method, and then closes itself.
