Re: Basic Window Control Using JavaScript |

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
[1]
I used your solution for link [1] and it works. The opened window contains a
frameset so I put the onLoad code in the body of one of the frame pages and
referenced the parent. I had tried putting it in the frameset page inside the
frameset tag but that didn't work.
The only negative to this solution is that the content inside the bottom frame
refreshes when it is put into focus which is not ideal [I assume this is
because the link fires the open window function each time instead of just
bringing focus to the window]. I can live with this but I would prefer if the
content in the opened window didn't refresh when it was given focus. If you
have any ideas for resolving this minor glitch I would appreciate them.
[2]
You thought that if the opener window had been closed and the opened window
tried to give it focus it would open a new window displaying the site home
page. This does not happen. If you have any other ideas for solving this I
would appreciate your assistance. In the mean time I am making the logo into a
link that launches the home page.
To see the pages I am dealing with you can follow this link:
http://www.nomadcommunications.ca/platinum_service/2004/documents/financing.htm
Then click on the text that reads:
mortgage calculator
It should be fairly obvious from there on.
Thanks again for your help. It is a great thing that more experienced
developers take the time to help those of us struggling with simple issues.

That's what you get for using frames, I guess. Sorry, I have no solution
for this one. Must you use frames?

Hi,
Normally I never use frames. In this case it seems to be the best solution for
satisfing my client's needs. I'll have another look at the concept and see if I
can't find a better solution.
Thanks for your help.

What are the client's needs that frames satisfy?
Is the client willing to accept the many disadvantages that frames carry
while meeting those needs in this fashion?
