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

[John Salter]

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="...' - in a pop up window (not a new tab), but I can't figure out how to do this in prototype.

In jquery i do this:

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!
