Prototype and window

I'm using prototype at my page.When i click the link,new window is opening but when i click the other link,same window is opening again.here is my code;

<a href="#" onclick="dialog();">LINK1</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dialog() {
Dialog.alert({url: "aaa1.html", options: {method: 'get'}},
{className: "alphacube", width:700, okLabel: "Close"});
}
WindowCloseKey.init();
</script>
<br><a href="#" onclick="dialog();">LINK2</a></center>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dialog() {
Dialog2.alert({url: "aaa2.html", options: {method: 'get'}},
{className: "alphacube", width:700, okLabel: "Close"});
}
WindowCloseKey.init();
</script>

at both cases,aaa2.html is opening.Please help me with this!

 

That would be because you've redefined your dialog function (essentially overwritten the first one with your second one).

Normally, I would do something like:

<a href="#" onclick="dialog('aaa1.html');">LINK1</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dialog(url_to_display) {
Dialog.alert({url: url_to_display, options: {method: 'get'}},
{className: "alphacube", width:700, okLabel: "Close"});
}
WindowCloseKey.init();
</script>
<br><a href="#" onclick="dialog('aaa2.html');">LINK2</a></center>

HTML:

or something like that...

 

twistmyarm thank you soo sooo sooo much,it is working now!!!

 

Hi.
I've got a similar problem, but... just cannot cope with it.

while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($numresults)) {
$id= $row["id"];
$user = $row["user"];

echo "<a href='#' onclick='dialog();'><strong>$id</strong> - <strong>$user</strong></a>";
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>function dialog() {
Dialog.alert({url: 'one.php?page=$id', options: {method: 'get'}}, {className: 'alphacube', width:560, okLabel: 'Close'});
}
</script>";

$count++ ;
}

... the only $id I GET as a result is its latest owned value. Defiantly, overwriting functions, but ... I just cannot solve the problem. Please, help me with this!

 

Pretty much the same answer as I gave mustaineoz... just move your dialog function out of the loop. Again this is untested code, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work exactly...

    echo "<script type='text/javascript'>function dialog(id_to_display) {
        Dialog.alert({url: 'one.php?page=' + id_to_display, options: {method: 'get'}}, {className: 'alphacube', width:560, okLabel: 'Close'});
}
</script>";
while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($numresults)) {
    $id= $row["id"];
    $user = $row["user"];

    echo "<a href='#' onclick='dialog($id);'><strong>$id</strong> - <strong>$user</strong></a>";

    $count++ ;
}

Thanks a lot. Really, a lot.

 

OK, so I'm a little confused... does it work or not?

 

It works perfectly. Thanks again!
