| | Hi Friends,
I am new to javascript.
Just a few days back I had encountered a problem where focus() doesn't work well with FF, and Kravvitz showed me a workaround by using setTimeout();
Now I have a similar problem:
1. I open a new blank window using 'window.open()'
2. I alert the user that I am going to add some HTML to it.
3. I add the HTML to that new window, and
4. I bring focus to that new window.
It works beautifully in IE7 but not in FF.
CODE var newWindow = window.open("", "myWindow", "width=300, height=300");
alert("Going to add html");
newWindow.document.write("Hi");
setTimeout("newWindow.focus()", 10); //newWindow.focus(); also doesn't work!
Thank You for your time
Cheers!! |

hitting ok it goes back to the age field. But in FF its going to the next tag(the submi....
Formatting Alerts/confirm In Firefox 1.5.0.1
(3)
I was trying to use the \t to tab in Firefox 1.5.0.1. It works in IE 6. I haven't tried it in
other other browser, but I was wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong. I tried a
simple test page to see if it was my script, and the test page gave me the same results. It worked
in IE6 but not Firefox. I also tried putting in " " for tabs instead of using the \t escape.
Firefox just ignores the white space I guess. Any ideas on formatting it? I'll post the test I
did: CODE function test(){ alert("\t\tCENTER!\t\t"); } --> ....
Alpha Release Astahost Credits Reporting Extension
for Firefox, of course (9)
Hi guys, I'm almost finished with coding an extension for Firefox that'll enable Astahost

status bar of their favourite browser - even if you're NOT visiting astahost. This will
always keep you upto date with your credits count - and alert you whenever your credits count dips
below the safe zone. The extension comes with 4 different coloured icons - BLUE, GREEN, AMBER and
RED - which gets displayed along with your credits. It is meant to provide a visual in....
