Some time ago I visited a web site which had the following feature:
At the top of the page there was a check box that, if the surfer checked it, would make all the links open up in new browser windows. However, if it was left unchecked, all the links would open up in the current window. Any idea how that's accomplished, and whether it makes for valid HTML? Or, if there's a PHP-based solution that will do the same (changing variable values without reloading the page, maybe)? |

May be he uses frames !
I don't have the code but I think it is not too complicated, it may be a mix of java and php.
If I find something, I'll let you know  |

Typically JavaScript could be used for such actions by using else statements and the document write so that if the user checks the box either they are transported to another page or the client-side script will write a line stating that the links will open in a new browser window i.e.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
function xyz(Light)
{
lanturn=window.open(Light,'name','width=150,height=150');
if(window.focus) {lanturn.focus()}
}
// End -->
</script>
<a href="javascript:xyz('abc.htm')">Click</a>
Concerning valid HTML then obviously the page would pass validation assuming the script is hidden using the correct deliminators, however, you'd have to assume the user had JavaScript enabled on their browser. |

Me too. Well, if it's achieved with javascript then I don't want anything to do with it. Give me PHP or give me Death! (or, at least, give me server-side includes) |

What is so wrong with JavaScript? It makes your life easier, even posting the smilies on these boards. Sure I know it's the cause of pop-ups but it does have it's useful purposes.
There really should be a browser that allows you to select which Javascript comands/functions you want to disable, like in php.ini. Anyone here work for Microsoft, that's an excellent idea for IE7.
