Is it possible instruct a page to open in a child window?
Hello all,
I have some html code that I need to open in a child window.
This is easy to accomplish if I am calling this html code through other html.
Example:
But in my situation, I have no access or control over what is calling my "page_to_open_in_child_win
Question is, can I embed the same instructions inside of my "page_to_open_in_child_win
Thanks

<body>

If you want to fully load the content from your script then leave the first argument to window.open blank, e.g.,
myWin = window.open("","", "location=0,toolbar=0,stat
Then you can do something like this:
myWin.document.writeln("<h
In that way, you don't need a pre-existing webpage.
On the other hand, if you need for something to be loaded by the LMS so that you have its session data then create a super simple page. It can be as simple as:
<html><body></body></html>
Then you can do something like this:
myWin.document.body.innerH
myWin = window.open("","", "location=0,toolbar=0,stat
Then you can do something like this:
myWin.document.writeln("<h

Hello tdlewis,
Thanks for your response but not even close. LOL Though, I suspect my description wasn't nearly good enough.
The problem is that in opening a child window, I must also carry a two-way communications with the parent window API. This is where it is slightly more complicated than simply opening a child window.

Hello tdlewis,
This might be beyond the scope of a EE question but here goes... I have attached two files.
First is the index.html - this file is the first to load and it establishes the API and then
opens...
Test-sample.htm - there is more variables (part of the API) and this file then opens the FLASH file (not included).
Throughout this process, the API calls establish a 2 way comm link from the LMS to the FLASH file (lesson actually).
What I am trying to accomplish is to open that Flash lesson in a child window and maintain the 2 way comm link to/from the LMS.
What do you think?

In a prior life I wrote some code for a different LMS where the page loaded by the LMS opened a child window that communicated back to the parent window about its progress. I no longer have access to any LMS nor the code for that prior project, but it worked by having the parent set a variable in the child that then gave the child access to routines in the parent. It worked something like this:
theChild = window.open("page_to_open_in_child_window.html","","location=0,toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
theChild.theParent = this;
theParent.customCode();
window.ProcessLMSResult = function(requestType, responseStr)
{
theParent.ProcessLMSResult(requestType, responseStr);
};
