Here's an simplified example from a page I set up with a tabbed inferface:
<a href="/path/to/main/page/tab1" onclick="Browser.ActivateTab ('tab1'); return
false;">
Here is my link crafted accordingly
<a
href="http://localhost:8080/file:/F:/piviviewer/include/help/en_us/Default_CSH.htm#100";
target="HelpWindow" onClick="var
w=javascript:window.open('http://localhost:8080/file:/F:/piviviewer/include/help/en_us/Default_CSH.htm#100',
'HelpWindow',
'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=no,resizable=yes,width=800,height=550');
w.focus(); return false;">?</a>
While it works without JavaScript, it ends up to work the same with JavaScript
enabled...or better to say, the JavaScript code never gets executed even when
JavaScript is enabled. In your example you load either the tab or the entire
new page into the same window that is currently in use. I want to have a JS
popup and when JS is disabled a plain link into a new window )ends up to be a
new tab in the modern browsers, which is OK). In this constellation the JS
popup never shows up. I guess that the browser gives href preference over the
onClick event.
I will see that I add a generic help link into the page header using an href
only. So when JS is disabled the user has at least a chance to get to the
help, it just doesn't come with CSH and the extra window. I could find a
better fix if there is a way to detect if the browser has JS enabled without
executing any JS. All solutions I've seen so far pass a value, have JS update
and return it. If you get the same value back then JS is disabled, but that
strikes as very ugly. I basically provoke a 'crash', catch it, then act upon
that. It would be much nicer if browsers send over what they can and can't do
in the response.
Thanks for your help.
