Please Help!!! Browser window

[Charl]

Hi All,

I am opening a new window on my website using an menu which reads from
a js file, but when it opens the new window the previous page just
displays [object]

I am using this:

addItem('<img src="/images/template/charter.jpg"
border="0">',HREF="javascript:window.open('http://www.cnn.com','blank','');",
'', null, 148);

Please let me know if I should supply more code.

Thanks

The javascript: protocol loads the result of the expression into the
current window. That's what it's supposed to do and is not a bug.

window.open() returns a window object, so that is what is displayed.

Please let me know if I should supply more code.

you should even consider not using the code you are using (the addItem
method looks absolutely horrible even without actually seeing the code)
but if you want a quick fix, this will do:

To prevent the expression from returning a value, insert the void
operator at the beginning of the expression:

"javascript:void(window.open('http://www.cnn.com','blank',''));"
