does anybody know such a problem, window.open()do not work with Firefox suddenly.
<a href="javascript: void(0)"
onclick="window.open('popup.html',
'windowname1',
'width=200, height=77');
return false;">Click here for simple popup window</a>
this always open in a new window (or a new tab), but not open in a popup window.
Thanks,
I find that your code works perfectly. I pasted it into a new HTML page, clicked the link (using Firefox) and voila, new window.
My guess is that you're trying to use the link from a window that already has the name of the window you're trying to create. If the page is presented in a window whose name is already "windowname1", then the browser will put the results of you javascript action in that window instead of popping up a new one.
For example, if the code above is on a page named "popup.html" (the name of the file you open in window.open statement) then it will work the first time (since you haven't yet created a window named "windowname1". Then if you try to click the link again in the new window that popped up (whose name is windowname1), it will just refresh the same window instead of popping a new one.
I don't see why this would happen in firefox only though. I found identical results in Firefox, Chrome, and IE.
if you want to open a pop up window, it's alert('message'). window.open always opened a full window/tab.
(Edited: Even if you specify width/height, most browser allow you to allow javascript but not allow it to resize your windows, and firefox also allows you to force new windows to new tabs)
Maybe you need to add some extra variables to the window.open() method
<a href="#"
onclick="window.open('http://url','windowname1', 'width=200,height=100,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,location=yes'); return false">Link</a>
Add attribute target="_blank" to <a> tag as below. This will open as popup.
<a target="_blank" href="javascript:void(0)">...</a>

I know that clicking on:
Click here
would quit the current page and go to this address, and that
Click here
would open it in a new tab (default behaviour in Chrome and Firefox).
But how to have a button such that clicking on it would open the external website in a new browser window, possibly 700x500px? (like if you do New window in Chrome menu)
You cannot do that with pure HTML - to achieve the result you need JavaScript.
<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com',
'newwindow',
'width=700,height=500');
return false;">Click here</a>
However, this solution is vulnerable to be pop-up blocked.
As #Rob M. suggested, here you can read everything about window.open().
I want to open a new window but I want it to be a free floating popup separate from the main browser (not in a new tab)
Every example ive found using various javascript/jquery/target="_blank" methods always opens in a new tab. I want the window to 'float' separately from the main browser
This is working for me, I used this in one of my projects:
https://jsfiddle.net/9o5f9Ls0/2/
<a onclick="window.open(this.href, 'test', 'left=20,top=20,resizable=0'); return false;" href='https://www.google.com'>Test</a>
See this answer: Make a link open a new window (not tab)
Here is a snippet that does what you're describing.

The problem is when calling window.open(url, name) for a specific page, it is always opened in a new window, instead of the SAME one. In other words, every time this statement is executed, a new window is opened, while what I want is only ONE new window is opened and all the following calls will open the page in that new window. The name parameter in this javascript statement doesn't work for this case obviously. It only happens with IE11(Couldn't try other versions of IE).
When I tried opening window of my own pages, it worked as expected. But that specific page doesn't. That page is on the same host but out of my control. I don't know what exactly it does. The only thing I know is it relaxes document.domain. But even if I change the domain of the main page to be the same as that page's, it still doesn't work.
Does anybody know what's the root cause?
Thanks in advance!
The problem might be due to Internet Explorer settings.
Under Internet Options
Click Settings under Tabs
Under When a pop-up is encountered:, select Always open pop-ups in a
new tab
Under Open links form other programs in:, select A new tab in the
current window
to do that you want
window.location not open
open will open a new window/tab
EG
window.location = "http://www.google.com"
to navigate to google.com in the same window/tab
I have a program that is written in CSS/HTML/JavaScript all inline, and opened directly from the HTML file (no web URL). Right now, everyone I work with has their browser set to open any links in a new tab in the same window, which makes the program useless, as it is form that is filled out manually, meant to be on a second monitor.
Right now, I have the window.resizeTo(); and the window.moveTo(); functions working properly IF the open in tabs is changed to open links in new window, but I cant walk around doing that to over 500 computers (no exaggeration on the amount), not to mention, any changes to the settings are reset afte the computers are reset.
When I try the window.open();, it just opens up a blank page in a new window after the .html file is opened, I need it to open itself in a new window, and then resize/move after.
Use window.open(...) with the height and width parameters set. This will force the link to open in a new window:
Share Page
Demo
You can pass a URL to window.open() to open that URL.
You can pass the current URL using location.href.
You can also specify a size and location directly in the third parameter.
Opening a page on tab or a separate window is browser specify feature, and it cannot be controlled by a Web Application.
window.open() will open a popup window and can open any URL you specify when provided:
window.open('openthispage.html);
window.open(URL,name,specs,replace)
add the URL of the program and it should work
Wondering how to open many new windows with Javascript. I have found plenty of places on the internet that show you how to open a new browser window with Javascript, but I want to open a new UNIQUE window. For Example.
I have two links on a page. the user clicks on both links and they are both opened in the same window. I want each link to open a new window WITH JAVASCRIPT.
Another Example.
I just opened a window with javascript and I have a link inside my newly opened window. I click on the link and it opens in the same window. I want to pop it out of that window WITH JAVASCRIPT, NOT use the same window.
Help?
window.open('page.html','WindowTitle','width=400,height=200')
Like the previous poster said, you want window.open(...)
var WindowObjectReference = window.open(strUrl, strWindowName [, strWindowFeatures]);
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Window.open
Make sure that you have different strWindowName for each call since that determines which window the URL is opened in.
