    Hi all,

    Where can I find a script which will open a new browser window with a new website when a user visits a certain page n my site?

    I want user to redirect to another website without leaving the existing one. Is it possible?

    Thanks :D

<body onload="window.open('http://www.mydomain.com/file_name.php');return true;">

    Thanks Louie got myself sorted from a visual pop up creater.

    <!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL POPUP WINDOW:

    1. Paste the first into the HEAD of your HTML document
    2. Use the code to open the popup page on your site -->

    <!-- STEP ONE: Copy this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

    <HEAD>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- Idea by: Nic Wolfe (Nic@) -->


    <!-- Begin
    function popUp(URL) {
    day = new Date();
    id = day.getTime();
    eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,location=1,statusbar=1,menubar=1,resizable=1,width=640,height=480,left = 640,top = 360');");
    }
    // End -->
    </script>


    <!-- STEP TWO: Paste this onLoad event handler into the BODY tag -->

    <BODY onLoad="javascript:popUp('http://xxx.domain.com')">

    <!-- Script Size: 0.73 KB -->

    I wonder how can I put it in the background rather than coming in the front?

    Cheers

    Sorry guys if I posted it in the php forums. The existing site is in php so I thought there might be a way to do it in php. Pardon me I am a newbie.

    Back to the topic, as louie mentioned about focus thing? How can I put it in the background please?

    Anyone?

    Thanks

    i believe window.focus() is what you want. after you call the popup.
