Ingolme Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Edit: Actually, "new" is a reserved word, use another variable name.-------If you're not specific about the problem then we can't help you. "Not working" isn't specific enough, we need to know which part is not working.The first question is: Is the window is opening?If it is opening, does the button appear in the window?If the button does appear, is the function that the button calls not working?

jeffman Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Make sure your browser allows pop-up windows. Those settings can be changed. You also want to check the syntax:window.open("","width=100 height=100)Your quotation marks don't work. And your list of attributes must be comma-separated.

jeffman Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 When all you write is "it NEVER works," and the code you print has errors, that is what people will comment on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 As for somefunction() -- where is the function located? As far as I can see, the only thing your new document contains is a button. If there is no script, there is no function, right?Or is this another one of those things where you haven't mentioned something important? Like maybe somefunction() is in the original document? Or does your window.open() method actually load a document, and somefunction() is in that? Either way, you have a problem. But I'm not going to solve it if I don't know which problem it is.

valiantshady Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Shouldn't this be in the JavaScript side of the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Probably. Most people who write responses check all the forums anyway, so it doesn't matter much.We're more likely to get miffed when someone resurrects a dead thread (unless it's their own).
