Re: [WSG] javascript problem with pop-up on hyperlink click (IE6 displays an error, FF, Opera work fine)
Don't popup blockers allow them when they're a result of a direct user interaction Sometimes, sometimes not. It all depends on browser and/or setup... Or is this another thing that XP SP2 messes up?

and don't use inline scripts. They are as bad as inline styles:
Barkow-Lewinsky, Eva
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(i=0;i
This would be better, in case you have multiple classes assigned to
your a tag:
if (links[i].className.match(/\bpopup\b/))
Better than class, though, would be to use rel="external" or
rel="dialogue" or some such thing. The rel attribute describes the
relationship of the destination document to the origin document. Class
is a style, and not a relationship. But honestly, 6 of one, half dozen
of the other.

> Never put URLs in onclick (_javascript_:blabla *is* URL) Forget that use this idea: if you have to open more than one window use a function to call the open window functions one after the other: openWindow(params) openWindow(params) hmmm... might be better than returning false from a function that is in fact true Happy coding...

Don't use href="#". Put meaningful link there, and avoid duplication by
using this.href.
Second attribute for window.open is window name and works like target for
. To allow more than one pop-up, use _blank.
onclick may return false to prevent following href.

[WSG] javascript problem with pop-up on hyperlink click (IE6 displays an error, FF, Opera work fine)
hiya, i'm not sure if this is the right place to pose my question, but i'll dare it. if my question is unwanted on the list, i apologise, maybe someone can reply in private? i have a page from which i'd like to pop-up a window with more details upon clicking a hyperlink. the javascript i'm using is: Barkow-Lewinsky, Eva this works fine in the Fox and Opera, but IE6 says i've got an "invalid argument" in my javascript in the line where the link is. besides asking for advice on how to fix this, i'd be glad to hear alternative approaches, too. thanks, -- Thorsten ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
