non-javascript help

ecchi · 2015-05-03, 12:39 PM

Anyone know how I can do this without using javascript?

Code:

<a href="bondage-movies/bdsm-videos-0002.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'mywin',
'width=600,height=400,toolbar=no, location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=no, resizable=yes'); return false;">

Basically I need to create a resizable new window without any toolbars, status data, menus, etc. but without using javascript. Oh and it has to work across all browsers and tablets (not too worried about 'phones as the site will not really shrink enough for 'phones).

The reason being that I need to check any clicks on the new window for the ability to carry a referrer, and there is a bug in all versions of IE from 98 onwards (Microsoft claim it is a "feature" everyone else calls it a "bug") that means you always get "no referrer" from a javascript generated window.

I tried doing it in Namo (see the option before, but never played around with it) and it gave me this:

Code:

<a href="javascript:na_open_window('win', 'http://www.link-o-rama.com/', 0, 0, 300, 200, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)" target="_self">Testing 1 2 3</a>

Now, I know you said no java, but I've never seen html coding like this where the javascript command is inside a link/href tag, so I thought I'd post it

If you need to know what each number does, LMK & I'll post a list.

OR

Just tell me how you asked about doing this without using javascript & I'll shut up

That's the best you can do without using javascript. You can't control the window attributes without it.

Thanks for your help.

GreenGuy - I can't get this to work, no idea why because it should work.

Toby - I was afraid of that, it means "back to the drawing board" for my tube site. Fuck it!

You mean you can't get the code I posted to work?

Sorry, yes.

After I put this little page together, I noticed that Namo threw some java code up in the <head>

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function na_open_window(name, url, left, top, width, height, toolbar, menubar, statusbar, scrollbar, resizable)
{
  toolbar_str = toolbar ? 'yes' : 'no';
  menubar_str = menubar ? 'yes' : 'no';
  statusbar_str = statusbar ? 'yes' : 'no';
  scrollbar_str = scrollbar ? 'yes' : 'no';
  resizable_str = resizable ? 'yes' : 'no';
  window.open(url, name, 'left='+left+',top='+top+',width='+width+',height='+height+',toolbar='+toolbar_str+',menubar='+menubar_str+',status='+statusbar_str+',scrollbars='+scrollbar_str+',resizable='+resizable_str);
}

// -->
</script>

So I apologize for confusing you - I just threw it up on a cluttered test page I had open & never thought to look up top

Thanks. That works. Unfortunately IE still sees it as a security risk and refuses to carry referrer details out of the produced page.

I'm guess I'll have to go without using a "video window" and just go with "target=_blank", which will not look as good.

But thanks for your help, both of you.

Maybe if you upgraded your browser...

The problem exists in all IE versions from W98 up to W8, and it is believed that the problem will exist in W10 when it comes out too (it has existed for 17 years in God knows how many updates of IE). It is caused (I'm told) by the fact that interpreting javascript is an "add on" for IE, and they never bothered to make it secure, so deliberately limit what it can do if you surf using any version of IE.

I did not know that - and I just now verified it by testing it with my handy IE Tab Chrome Extension

BUT...in theory, if you can't find a way to have it work in IE (other than it just popping a new window) you could still use it for those with FireFox & Chrome so that at least some of your visitors see it that way you want it

Won't work unfortunately. The problem is I need to know if the surfer is a non-referrer type surfer so that I can do evil things to them if they don't click where I want them to click. With a javascript window, all IE traffic (over 50% of it) will be wasted as my script will assume them to be no referrer types.
