options = "toolbar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0," +
"resizable=0,width=300,height=200";
newwindow=window.open("","mywindow", options);
newwindow.document.writeln(LocalTime);
newwindow.document.write(contents);
newwindow.document.close();
The second parameter is the default title of the window. The third parameter allows you to set a long list of options about your new window. Here are the options you can set.
| Option | choice | description |
|---|---|---|
| toolbar | yes/no or 1/0 | Display toolbar |
| status | yes/no or 1/0 | Display status bar at bottom of window |
| menubar | yes/no or 1/0 | Display menubar |
| scrollbars | yes/no or 1/0 | Display horizontal and vertical scrollbars |
| resizable | yes/no or 1/0 | Window can be resized |
| location | yes/no or 1/0 | Display location box |
| directories | yes/no or 1/0 | Display directory buttons |
| width | # of pixels | Exact width of new window |
| height | # of pixels | Exact height of new window |
If I want to open the mytest document in a small, 100 x 100 pixel window I would type this:
| NewWindow = window.open("mytest.htm","mywindow","width=100,height=100") |
As you can see, the window.open() command can get very long. One solution is to specify the options in a seperate variable, which I call "options." Then your command would look like this:
|
options = "width=100,height=100" NewWindow = window.open("mytest.htm","mywindow",options) |
