pop up window problem::HELP

[sinead]

Hi there

am using flash, php and mysql to create an application. Throughout this i need to allow users to open files which is where i use javascript to open them in a new window. THe problem is that I keep getting this error when i try to access the files remotely through the website but it seems to work when i test using local host....its driving me mad!! Doea anyone know the answer?? Here is the error message i keep gett and after that I have inserted the javascript i use to open a new window. Hope someone can help!

Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: The callee (server[not server application]) is not available and disappeared; all connections are invalid. The call did not execute.
Code: 0



And the js is as follows:



<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var newwin;

function launchwin(winurl,winname,winfeatures)

{

//This launches a new window and then

//focuses it if window.focus() is supported.

newwin = window.open(winurl,winname,winfeatures);

if(javascript_version > 1.0)

{

//delay a bit here because IE4 encounters errors

//when trying to focus a recently opened window

setTimeout('newwin.focus();',250);

}

}

</SCRIPT>

are you calling "launchwin" like this???


getURL("javascript:launchwin('http://delicodeclic.com/home.hmtml','','height=600,width=600,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no');");

your javascript function is correct, may be somre other problem... like security broswer...

Hi papachan
yes i am calling launchwin as you said below. The thing is, when i use mozilla's firefox, I can open the files in the pop-up window. However, when i use IE6.0 it gives me that error. I don't know how to fix this as I have alreadygone into the security settings and made sure that it doesn't block any pop-up windows. Do you have any ideas?

thanks for your help

Maybe this code will help you.  It's what I use to open up new windows.

Code: [Select]

var popUpWin=0;
var popUpPrintWin=0;

/***************************************************/
/* popUpWindow                                     */
/* opens up a new window with width and height     */
/* specified - if dimensions are not specified it  */
/* defaults to a percentage of the users screen    */
/***************************************************/

function popUpWindow(URLStr, width, height) {
   var frameWidth;
   var frameHeight;
   
   if (self.innerWidth) {
      frameWidth = self.innerWidth;
      frameHeight = self.innerHeight;
   } else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientWidth) {
      frameWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
      frameHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
   } else if (document.body) {
      frameWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
      frameHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
   } else {
      //could return here
      width = 400;
      height = 400;
   }
   
   frameWidth=parseInt(frameWidth);
   frameHeight=parseInt(frameHeight);
   
   //if width and height are not specified give them percentages of the window
   if (width == null) { width = frameWidth * .5; }
   if (height == null) { height = frameHeight * .7; }
   
   var left = (frameWidth/2) - width/2;
   var top = (frameHeight/2) - height/2;
   
   if(popUpWin) { if(!popUpWin.closed) popUpWin.close(); }
   
   popUpWin = open(URLStr, 'popUpWin', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbar=no,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width='+width+',height='+height+',left='+left+', top='+top+',screenX='+left+',screenY='+top+'');
   //popUpWin.setFocus();
}

so much code for less use, if your width is null, so it take the percent value of your detected width or detected height, So if you want to change this,  you need another argunment, so... what's the sense of your posted code?
