How do I make a jump menu pop up a new window? 1

farnorth · Jun 2, 2006

I need to make this jump menu do a pop up window. I can't get the code right. Below is the dreamwaever code for the jump, now how do I get it to pop a seperate window.

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

Help is very appreciated.

Thanks
Bob

just a guess as you haven't shown the code for the function, but probably change 'parent' to 'blank'

Unfortunately blank gives an error you need to use

Code:

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">

Cheech, That was too easy for you... LOL How about this one. If I wanted the window that poped up to be set to a certain size, no scroll etc how would I code that? Is it in the function of the form. I can't seem to incorporate it into the code below without making a mess all over the place.
Here is my code now. Thanks!!

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1">
Model Specifications:
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
<option selected>Select Model </option>
<option value="/inventory/specpages/AE7X12DS2.htm">12ft AE7X12DS2 </option>
<option value="/inventory/specpages/AE7X12DT2.htm">12ft AE7X12DT2 </option>
<option value="/inventory/specpages/AE7X16DT2.htm">16ft AE7X16DT2 </option>

</select>
</form>

If you need to set the size and position then we need to step away from MM's code, replace the MM_jumpMenu script with this

Code:

function openWin()  {
var url = document.forms.form1.menu1.value
  var width = 400                        //Set width
  var height = 300                        //Set Height
  var name = "winname"             //Set window name
  var top = 20                            //Set distance from top
  var left = 20                            //Set distance from bottom
  newwin=window.open(url, name, "fullscreen=no,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,directories=no,location=no,width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",left=" + left + ",top=" + top);
}

You can now set the attributes as required, eg. width height top left toolbars etc. and then change the call in your menu to

Code:

onChange="openWin()"

All should now be as required
