popup window using ASP and VBscript

[Raphael Gluck]

Hi everyone

I am having a little problem with an asp page.
I am trying to create a master/detail page, but on this occasion, it's only
a small amount of detail, so i want to create a small page, for the detail,
and have that pop up. something you would do for instance to show a link to
a larger graphic on your detail page.
It's obvious that i am doing something wrong, because instead of opening the
new page, in the pop up, the main page moves to the detail, and the pop up
window then opens up as an error.
For example here
http://www.tripak.me.uk/sublisting.asp?Item_ID=119&TexSpecID=34
Clicking on a link there will give me the detail page, but not where i want
it.

This is my code from the master page, and the error is probably here


<a href="info.asp?GradeID=<%=(rsSublisting("GradeID"))%>"
onClick="window.open('nameofwindow','','width=100,height=100');return
false"><%=rsSubListing("Grades")%></a>

Could someone point out what i have done wrong?

Thanks so much

Try

<A href="#"
onclick="window.open('nameofwindow','info.asp?GradeID=<%=rsSublisting("Grade
ID")%>',width=100,height=100)"><%=rsSubListing("Grades")%></A>

Thanks
I tried that, but it doesnt seem to work, I entered all this

<A href="#"
onclick="window.open('nameofwindow','info.asp?GradeID=<%=rsSublisting("Grade
ID")%>',width=100,height=100)"><%=rsSubListing("Grades")%></A>

And it just doesnt move. I can see an error triangle in the bottom of the
web page, line 188 which doesnt contain anything to help me
Have i misunderstood your script line? must i modify it?

Please help

sorry if this a double post, but it doesnt look like it sent

Thanks Ray
my pages are in ASP and VBscript
would that be possible cause or is that a silly question?

The problem you're having has to do with javascript, not ASP. Try loading
your page and doing a view-source and debugging the client-side code after
checking what error the browser is reporting.

Thanks Ray, But still not

Can i ask you again are you sure this code is the correct one?

<A href="#"
onclick="window.open('nameofwindow','info.asp?GradeID=<%=rsSublisting("Grade
ID")%>',width=100,height=100)"><%=rsSubListing("Grades")%></A>


The error doesnt seem to be confined to one line, though the page displays.
Maybe i need to tell you more.
The page i am on is sublisting.asp
The page i am trying to get to pop up is called info.asp
When i roll over the mouse over the link, sublisting.asp?Item_ID etc...
I know you're way better at this than me, but arent i supposed to see
info.asp? etc...

Do i need to insert something into the ahref tag? instead of "#"

Please help

Thank you Adrienne

I tried your script yesterday, but it gave me errors as you can see,
I have just tried again, and now it's not giving me errors, but still not
achieving its purpose

It's opening the new page, but as a full sized browser window.
It's because i am VB illiterate, I guess that's bad.
I hope you can help me if you have a minute

Thanks so much

What you need to do is:
<A href="info.asp?GradeID=<%=rsSublisting("Grade ID")%>"
onclick="window.open('nameofwindow','info.asp?GradeID=<%=rsSublisting
("Grade ID")%>',width=100,height=100); return false" title="Open <%
=rsSublisting("Grade ID")%> in a new window" target="_blank"><%
=rsSubListing("Grades")%></A>

Everybody keeps mixing up the order of the parameters in window.open():
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp

Here's a better idea -- instead of "_blank", use TARGET="nameofwindow" and
omit the [return false]. And use a more descriptive window name, for crying
out loud. Your link should look something like this:

<A HREF="info.asp?GradeID=<%=rsSublisting.Fields("Grade ID").Value%>"
ONCLICK="window.open('','gradeDetails','height=100,width=100')"
TITLE="Open <%=rsSublisting.Fields("Grade ID").Value%> in a new
window"
TARGET="gradeDetails"
If scripting is defective or absent, this will open in a default-sized
window named "gradeDetails". If scripting is functional, the properly sized
(and named) window will be created with the click event, and will
immediately be used as the target of the anchor.
