JS response not executing

hey response I am sending back to my Ajax.Request, however, the new
window does not open... why?

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">
window.open('' " . $url . " '',
''popper'',
''scrollbars=no,width=900,height=300'');
</script>";
die("There was an error.");

it gets the "There was an error" text and inserts it into the page
where I tell it to, but a new window does not open.  how can i fix
this?

Re: JS response not executing

Hi,

Looks like you must have a PHP error then.

If not, you wouldn''t be getting that text.

Best,

Tobie

Re: JS response not executing

No, that "die" statement is unconditional and will run no matter what.

Your window is not opening because your browser is suppressing it.
Modern browsers do not (by default) allow JavaScript to spawn a new
window unless it''s the result of an explicit user action (e.g., a
click). This was the antidote to the pop-up plague that infected the
internet several years ago.

Cheers,
Andrew

Re: JS response not executing

It might be the case that the problem is not the popup window, but
rather the js code itself.
I have the same problem when I send back mixed HTML and JavaScript to
an Ajax.Request - in Firefox it es executed properly, but in IE
nothing happens.
This has driven me crazy more than once and the only solution I''ve
come up with is to send some HTML back with an event trigger, like
e.g. <DIV onclick="Here''s the JS
code">Something</DIV>.
I wasn''t able to send back an Event.Observe - that also only worked in
Firefox.

Any other solution, anyone?

Re: JS response not executing

to confirm, there is no error with the php of the page, i''ve run it
directly and it works just fine.

i believe the person who suggested the browser is suppressing the new
window is correct.  so i have a work around in mind, i could open the
new window client side after it evaluates the responseText of the
Ajax.Request, but this brings about a new problem.  can i assign a
variable in the responseText?  something to the effect of...

(client side, in the javascript)

if (transport.responseText.myVar == "error") {
     window.open('' " . $url . " '',
''popper'',
''scrollbars=no,width=900,height=300'');
} else {
     alert(''There was no error!'');
}
