To open a new window, you will need to use yet another ready-made JavaScript function. Here is what it looks like:
window.open('url to open','window name','attribute1,attribute2')
This is the function that allows you to open a new browser window for the viewer to use. Note that all the names and attributes are separated with a comma rather than spaces. Here is what all the stuff inside is:
1. 'url to open'
This is the web address of the page you wish to appear in the new window.
2. 'window name'
You can name your window whatever you like, in case you need to make a reference to the window later.
3. 'attribute1,attribute2'
As with alot of other things, you have a choice of attributes you can adjust.
Window Attributes
Below is a list of the attributes you can use:
1. width=300Use this to define the width of the new window.
2.height=200Use this to define the height of the new window.
3. resizable=yes or noUse this to control whether or not you want the user to be able to resize the window.
4. scrollbars=yes or noThis lets you decide whether or not to have scrollbars on the window.
5. toolbar=yes or noWhether or not the new window should have the browser navigation bar at the top (The back, foward, stop buttons..etc.).
6. location=yes or noWhether or not you wish to show the location box with the current url (The place to type http://address).
7. directories=yes or noWhether or not the window should show the extra buttons. (what's cool, personal buttons, etc...).
8. status=yes or noWhether or not to show the window status bar at the bottom of the window.
9. menubar=yes or noWhether or not to show the menus at the top of the window (File, Edit, etc...).
10. copyhistory=yes or noWhether or not to copy the old browser window's history list to the new window.
All right, here's an example code for opening a new window:
