New Windows With JavaScript

Always wanted an easy way to open a new window at a specific size? Maybe to display a larger image of a thumbnail, maybe to have a small window of instructions? Here is an easy way to open a new window with JavaScript. You could use the "target" attribute; however, this attribute is deprecated and shouldn't be used. Unlike the target attribute, you can specify the width and height of the window you are opening using the following method.

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open('http://www.viper-host.com','Viper-Host.com','width=200,height=200')"> Open a New Window</a>

Customize the Script for Your Site:

• In the code above, you will see there is a URL defined as http://www.viper-host.com. Replace that URL with the address of the page or picture you would like to open.

• You'll see width=200. Replace the "200" with the width size, in pixels, you would like your new window to be.

• You'll also see heigh=200. Replace the "200" with the height size, in pixels, you would like your new window to be.

• Last, replace "Open A New Window" with the text that you would like your visitors to click on in order to open the new window.

That's all there is to it!
