center window

karlogaga · karlogaga

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">

</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:

[url]http://www.jlbgroup.com.au/index2.asp[/url]

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.

Yes it works on my windows machine!

Incase your intersted; it didn't work in IE 5.2 or Safari under OS X.

Change it to -

<body onload="openWindow();">

You don't need the javascript: there....

Hi Ken,

thank you very much for answering, i had given up on getting an answer
already...
To your first question, i dont know what the "x" is, i just copied the
script out of a function.

Its that i want the window to move to the center when someone types in
the Url in a browser, not from a link.

Since it is possible to move the window to the center, i wonder if you
could also define something different than the center, something like
having the left corner of the new window opening 200 pixels left from
the center and 200 pixels higher than the center?

Thanx and greetings Karlo

Put the attached code in the page that is to be opened in the popup window.
Just change the values for the width and height to what ever you need.
