Thanks a lot John, both do work!

Unfortunately they open a new tab and not a pop up, which can be confusing for less tech-savvy users.

Do you know, how I can pass attributes to the  new window, so I can specify height and width to the new window and perhaps remove the menu bars?

Preferably I would like my pop-ups to look like the one seen on the embedded eprint at the bottom of the linked post below, but any solution where the user sees the new window popping up on top of the main site instead of switching tabs would be acceptable.

Thanks again in advance! And I am sorry if this is basic stuff, I am not very good with _javascript_ in general, but I really appreciate your help.

Hi Jacob,

From the snippet of Prototype below, it looks like you’re defining a function ‘new_window_links’, but never actually calling it?

 

Does this work (anonymous function):

document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {

    links = $$("a.ep_document_link");

    links.each(function(link){

        link.observe("click", function(event){

            window.open(link.href);

            event.stop();

        });

    });

});

 

or this (same named function, specifically called):

document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {

    function new_window_links(){

      links = $$("a.ep_document_link");

      links.each(function(link){

        link.observe("click", function(event){

          window.open(link.href);

          event.stop();

        });

      });

    }

    new_window_links();

});

 

I haven’t tested either!

Cheers,

John

Subject: [EP-tech] Script to open a.ep_document_link in pop-up

 

Hi guys!

Im trying to open document links - '<a class="ep_ducument_link" href=""color:#3366FF">jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    jQuery('a.ei_popup').live('click', function(){
        newwindow=window.open($(this).attr('href'),'','height=575,width=720');
        if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
        return false;
    });
});

which does the trick.

I am totally new to prototype, but I found this snippet, that is supposed to do the same:

document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {
    function new_window_links(){
      links = $$("a.ep_document_link");
      links.each(function(link){
        link.observe("click", function(event){
          window.open(link.href);
          event.stop();
        });
      });
    }
});

But it doesn't do anything. I checked the source code, and the code does load fine from 90_local.js.

Thanks in advance, help and pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Have a nice day!
