Hi all,

I'm creating a html page..there is lot of links..I need to check the links opened or not.

check my coding,

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>

<A HREF="http://google.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="window.focus() Window.open('http://google.com', 'NewTarget') return false;">
Google</A>
 
<A HREF="http://gmail.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="window.focus() Window.open('http://gmail.com', 'NewTarget') return false;">
Gmail</A>
 
<A HREF="http://yahoo.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="window.focus() Window.open('http://yahoo.com', 'NewTarget') return false;">
Yahoo</A>
 

<A HREF="http://Discussweb.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="window.focus() Window.open('http://Discussweb.com', 'NewTarget') return false;">
Discussweb</A>
 
<A HREF="http://msn.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="window.focus() Window.open('http://msn.com', 'NewTarget') return false;">
MSN</A>
 
</body>
</html>

This code doesn't work...I'm not knowing where I'm wrong...

Is there any Idea?

So you want to open a new window for each link?

If that is the case, you would need to name each window differently.

eg

Window.open('http://your link', 'Name1');
Window.open('http://your link', 'Name2');

etc...

I think this is what you mean?

If not let me know in a bit more detail.

Thank u buddy,

Each link should open in a same named target window, thats y i gave the same target name for each link. The problem is first time if u click any one of the link it will open a new window, after second time it will open the same window, but we dont know whether it is opened or not, so i need to indicate to the user link that named browser blinking in taskbar or appear on the screen. It will help to user to know whether the new link is opened.

the function Window.focus() will help to do this. I tried, but i didn't get result.

Hi buddy,

Use as follows,

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>

<script type="javascript">
var newWindow = false;

function toggleWindow(url)
{
       // Check if window is or has been open already and make sure it has not been closed
       if (newWindow && newWindow.open && !newWindow.closed)
       {
          // Change the URL and give the window focus
              newWindow.location.href = url;
              newWindow.focus();
       } else {
          // Otherwise open the window and give it focus
          newWindow = window.open(url, 'newWindow');
          newWidnow.focus();
       }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<!-- Now put the function call on each linke //-->
<A HREF="http://google.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="toggleWindow('http://google.com') return false;">
Google</A>
<br/>
<A HREF="http://gmail.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="toggleWindow('http://gmail.com') return false;">
Gmail</A>
<br/>
<A HREF="http://discussweb.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="toggleWindow('http://discussweb.com') return false;">
discussweb</A>
<br/>

<A HREF="http://yahoo.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="toggleWindow('http://yahoo.com') return false;">
Yahoo </A>
<br/>
<A HREF="http://msn.com" TARGET="NewTarget" onClick="toggleWindow('http://msn.com') return false;">
msn</A>
<br/>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for send this code.

But code is not focussing the inactive (minimized) window.

The function from my last post does the same thing as the code you posted.

The call to newWindow.focus() is the only thing I know and it doesn't work on all browsers/OS etc.

You would be better off closing the window and opening again each time you run the function.

Code:

var newWindow = false;

function toggleWindow(url)
{
       // Close3 the window if its already open.
       if (newWindow && newWindow.open && !newWindow.closed)
       {
          newWindow.close();
} 

          newWindow = window.open(url, 'newWindow');
          newWidnow.focus();
}
