Open Popup window using javascript

To create a popup you'll need the following script:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function popitup(url) {
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=200,width=150');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
}


</script>

Then, you link to it by:

  <a href="popupex.html" onclick="return popitup('popupex.html')">Link to popup</a>

If you want you can call the function directly from document.ready also. Or maybe from another function.


Change the window name in your two different calls:

function popitup(url,windowName) {
       newwindow=window.open(url,windowName,'height=200,width=150');
       if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
       return false;
     }

windowName must be unique when you open a new window with same url otherwise the same window will be refreshed.
