Question:

Easiest HTML code for opening a new window?

by | earlier

I want to add a link to my web page that will open a new 800 x 600 window to display a picture. What's the least complicated way to accomplish this? Is there a way to do it using regular HTML code?

The easiest way is to use the target as described above but if you actually wanted the window to be a certain dimension you need to go into the details of JavaScript.

For example:

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin

function regular() {

window.open('window-sizer.html','800x6...

function large()

Just simply replace window-sizer.html with the link of the window you want to open.

placing a target="" tag into your link is ok however its not w3c standard for xhtml and it will not open the window to a specific size. you need javascript for that. its easy here is the code:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('page.html','newWin... here for new window</a>

Noone seemed to notice that you wanted a popup window of a certain size. Use the following online code generators to customize your window:

These one you can set width/height:

The target="" attribute is for basic transitional and frameset doctypes.
