Windows and JavaScript
Using JavaScript, we can manipulate windows in a variety of ways, such as
open one, close it, reload its page, change the attributes of the new window
etc.
Opening a new window using JavaScript
Lets start at the very top- "How do I open a new window in
JavaScript?" Appropriately enough, by using a JavaScript method called
"window.open()":
window.open("http://www.dynamicdrive.com")
When the above code is run, a new window opens containing
the specified URL, similiar in behavior to the "target" attribute of a link.
Lets say you just want to open a window containing Yahoo using a form button:
<form>
<input type="button" value="Click here to see" onclick="window.open('http://www.yahoo.com')" />
</form>
The above button merely opens an ordinary looking new window. However, where
JavaScript shines when it comes to manipulating windows is the ability to
customize the look of them, whether it's the windows' dimensions or look.
