Hi,

can someone tell me why this doesnt work or how to rewrite it?

<HEAD>

<script language="JavaScript">

self.moveTo(screen.availWidth * -(x - 50) / 100, screen.availHeight *
-(x - 50) / 100);

</script>


</HEAD>



The goal is that the window moves itself to the center of the screen onload.


Greetings Karlo

What is "x", where is it's value set ?

But instead of opening the window and then moving it, why not just open it in
the middle to start with ?

See attached

Ken



function openWindow(){
var fileName, windowName, theHeight, theWidth, topPos, leftPos;
windowName = "WinName";
fileName = "FileName.cfm";
theHeight = 300;
theWidth = 300;
topPos = (screen.height/2) - (theHeight/2);
leftPos = (screen.width/2) - (theWidth/2);

window.open(fileName,windowName,"left="+leftPos+", top="+topPos+",toolbar=0,loca
tion=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars =1,resizable=1,width="+theWidt
h+",height="+theHeight);
}

Ken, being the novice I am I've obviously set this up incorrect, as no window
is appearing.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is what I currently have:

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function?openWindow()
{
?????var?fileName,?windowName,?theHeight,?theWidth ,?topPos,?leftPos;
?????windowName?=?"splash";
?????fileName?=?"splash2.html";
?????theHeight?=?342;
?????theWidth?=?680;
?????topPos?=?(screen.height/2)?-?(theHeight/2);
?????leftPos?=?(screen.width/2)?-?(theWidth/2);

?????window.open(fileName,windowName,"left="+leftP os+",top="+topPos+",toolbar=0,
location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scroll bars=1,resizable=1,width="+the
Width+",height="+theHeight);
}
//-->
</script>

There is nothing wrong with this javascript.

You need to have a link to click on to activate the function

<a href="javascript:openWindow();">Open Window</a>

Put this link in the page where you want the popup to open from

Thanks Ken. Will this work with something like this?

<body onload="javascript:openWindow();">

I'd like the window open automatically when the page is entered.

Thanks for your help : )

Yes, that will onpen the window after the initial page has loaded. Just note that the window opened through this javascript will be on top of the other page and have the focus

I'm not having any joy here. Sorry to be a pain. Here is the test page:

http://www.jlbgroup.com.au/index2.asp

I've tried both onload and also a link (it's in the left column)

Any ideas?

When I went to that page.

The window open automatically, the page went from white to blue to purple to
green then to white and then closed.

When I click on the link the same thing happens.

Do you have javascript enabled in your browser ?

Oh. I'm thinking it's because I'm using an Apple. Checking this on my PC now.

Thanks very much.
