Assist in fixing javascript
I have some excellent code written by leakim971. It has one error in it.
leakim:
Can you see what is wrong with the window.open line? It gives a script error. I fixed it by using the old, original code you provided, but it woudl be good to open the resulting text window at a certain size

With old code:
window.open(url) - works
with your 3 suggestions:
#1: reports "invalid argument" on window.open
#2: works, produces small window that can't be resized.
#3: works: produces normal window or default size that can be resized.
working backwards,
window.open(url,"_blank"); - works, same as #3
window.open(url,"_blank"," width=900, height=400 "); - works, same as #2
So I did some homework and tried:
window.open(url,"_blank"," width=800, height=400 ,scrollbar s=1,resiza ble=1,menu bar=1");
So with snippets? I have:
var url = "http://www.example.com/08ws/" +
de.options[de.selectedInde x].value + "/" +
dt.options[dt.selectedInde x].value +
df.options[df.selectedInde x].value;
window.open(url,"_blank"," width=800, height=400 ,scrollbar s=1,resiza ble=1,menu bar=1");
This works as desired in IE6. Google chrome doesn't give a tool or menubar, but I think that was always the case. I'm not where I can check IE7+ right now.
Looks like the "_blank" fixed the IE6 barf.

Working well now. Will check on >IE6 later today.
Now, all working, is there any advantage to doing this in PHP?

Too much work to get the data into the database. It changed formats over the years and will be problematic to deal with. Maybe one day.....
Other than that, any other substantial pro or con to PHP vs JS?
Other than that, any other substantial pro or con to PHP vs JS?
For a program with more logic (enter your password, manage user, multiple pages, get data from medium or large database(s)...) PHP is better
For a click and get, I prefer Javascript. Seems you need to put new datas in the code one day per month so I think it's a good choice.
With Javascript you don't need to post the page to the server, you get result from your choice immediatly.

Just tested on IE8:
http://www.msxc.com/testsel7b.html
I guess there is no "menubar" in IE8 :( So the user gets a window with no way evdent (for a novice PC user) to print.
I added toolbar=1, and IE8 will display that.
In Google Chrome, I ge the same "blank" window with not print iconor toolbar.
Anyone know how to force enable the "print" icon/menu item in all browsers with the window.open function?
Scott,
The toolbar is activated under Chrome but not visible because it's a popup window.
To have the menu, you need to right click onto the top bar an choose "Display in a tab"
No problem under other browsers.
I think people using Chrome are not "novice user"...
You should open a new thread to see if people have best answer ;-)
Are you able to convert the text files to PDF ?
Regards.

Good point. For teh "masses" they will be using what came with thier PC (IE) and will be fine.
> Are you able to convert the text files to PDF ?
I expect I see where you are going, then there would be a print button. It's more trouble than worth for the handful of odd browser users to convert all the files. As you point out, a non standard browser user will more likely know how to get it to print.
Thanks again!

mplungian: Thank you. I wondered how that was done. Unfortunately I have a "history" of files to present with thse links, all are straight text files. So unless I misundersand I'd have to "htmlize" them all so I could add that link at the top of each. Might be good to do going forward. The uploaded files are from a older system but it may be able to be modified generate the files with the html tags.
how about
<a href="#"
onclick="iframe1.print(); return false">print</a>
<iframe name="iframe1" src="legacy.txt"></iframe>
<a href="#"
onclick="iframe1.print(); return false">print</a>

Unfortunately for me, I don't know this well enough to understand completely.
If my script calls an open window with an existing plain text file, like this one:
http://www.msxc.com/SCOREMACHINE/08ws/1/MC-P2.TXT
In order to use the "a href", wouln't I have to edit the text file, surround it with <HTML></HTML> and put that "a href" in as well?
Assuming my bare understanding is right, the problem is I have hundreds of those files in almost as many directories, and editing them to include the tags to turn them into html would be a chore.
Or is there some other way to use the "a href" that I'm missing? I'd be thrilled to have an "automatic" way to do it.

Hello Scoot,
mplungjan propose you to create a new html page with a frame inside which will display the text file.
My advice :
Good :
Customize this new page
Bad :
- Sometimes browser don't like iframe.
- You will need a new javascript in this page to get on the fly the URL of the file to display in the frame...
Considering it's a new job, open a new thread ;-)

I think I See how it works. Maybe. But, I need the text file displayed, THEN the user may or may not print it. No way to build that into the calling script. It would have to be one or the other (view, print). Normal mode is view, not print, so I dont' want a print popup every time they try to view. Print on demand only. The browser print buton will do for the masses.
The new page with no javascript (to get the passed URL and change src of the iframe) :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Love it !!
But, is there a way to kick it off, in a new window, from my selection script you wrote "on the fly"??
Now THAT would be incredible! It would open a whole lot of flexibility for displaying those files.
You need to pass the URL of the file to open :
So in the current page replace the right section by the following :

I got excited thinking I had it. But it's not quite working
Test page:

Produces the same file regardless of selection.
The link in the address bar looks right according to what was selected:

But the file displayed in the text box is wrong.
Looks to be hard coded in the pageiframe.html file, but I'm not skilled enough to know what to do with it.

Was looking good. I was even able to add my little logo.
But..... fly in the soup...
"print" causes it to print the webpage, not the file. Since the file is not completely shown on-page, the print is just of the window that contains the file. So you get a picture of the window wiht part of the file :(. So close.....
What is the attached snippet for? Wondered why it had the hard coded file.

I added line #2 just below my matching line #1 in pageiframe.html. That broke it.
FWIW, it is selecting the right file now (without implementing the last change). If I make the change, it goes back to not selecting the right file.
The problem is that it is not printing the file. Instead it is printing the pop-up web window that shows the file in s a sub-window. So instead of a possible multi page printout, you get a picture of the file in it's browser scrolling sub-window.
You can try it and see what I mean. The default report is one page long if you just click "request file"
