Stupid Javascript...... [Archive]

Alright. I decided to come back to Flash and web-designing by upgrading my old website.

I tried to add a pop-up that displays current updates when you click on a text link. My Problem:It doesn't want to pop-up.

I was wondering if anyone could take the time to run through my coding to see what the devil I did wrong. If you want to try out the link that is supposed to have the pop-up to show up, go here (http://www31.brinkster.com/populoustb). Its to the left-hand side of the page, under Updates. It should say 7/03/03.

Oh yeah. Combine this :beard: and this :asian: and you have my French II teacher. Later.

Replace it with this, it should work:

<html>
<head>
<title>Populous:The Beginning</title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,men ubar=0,resizable=0,width=200,height=300');");
}
// End -->
</script>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="NEVER">

Hey. Welcome to my
site. I haven't updated it in a while, so I'm going to start up on it
again. As you can see in the updates, I haven't done much. So, I basically
sat around doing nothing. Then I checked my e-mail, and got an e-mail
from Ice Gecko. That e-mail inspired me to check my site. When I did,
I noticed the counter and was like whoa!!I have had quite a few visitors!!!
So, I came back, re-installed Dreamweaver, and downloaded the HTML file
from Brinkster, and voila! I'm updating it. Expect a crap load of more
updates later on, as I plan on buying a new $1,500 Dell thats geared towards
high-graphic production. It'll be great fun indeed. Well, I think I'm
going to finish or at least work on the Followers section that I said
I would work on so catch ya later!

Why are you doing eval()? I have never used this before and all my books are @ work.

Oh k!
I think I know what you were trying to do.

I went ahead and rewrote you a script so that all you have to do is put the date in a hyperlink and the javascript will pull the date out, add it on to the back of the url, and scroll down the page to wherever you put the anchor tag with the date.

Go check out
http://66.75.222.69/Kirupa/1/Index.html <= This is where the JS is.
http://66.75.222.69/Kirupa/1/popUp.html <= This is what it pops up to.

Let me know if you need any further help.

With a lot more code and not as flexible as mine.http://www.kernlearn.net/Images/DPHead.gif

Heh.............yeah........
I'm not quite sure about this, but i think maybe i have to upload it to the net for it to work, but i'll try that.

You see, I use Dreamweaver 4 and I JUST tried the code you posted, sdrawkcaB, but it doesn't seem to be working. Digitalpimp, the links you made.............they don't work.

As far as the age, yes, it is an old game. But i love it. Thats why i made a site. Thanks for the compliment, by the way. Let me know whats going on with the coding.

Oh yeah, I'm on AIM right now. I'll be on all night. If you would like to tell me what to do on AIM, my name is RustedAngelV.

Thanks for all your help.
