Popup otherwise open new window

[valonesal]

We are trying to ensure that information is seen even if javascript is disabled.

So we would like to create something that opens a popup as normal however if javascript is disabled it opens a new tab or window with the information. But if javascript is enabled it just opens the popup not the new window.

Is something like this possible and if so how would we do it?

Thank you.

You could have the click be on an <a> tag with a target="_blank" which will open a new window. But if they have javascript enabled you can bind events to it with onlclick to open a popup and return false (to prevent the other window from opening;

This isn't exactly what has to be done but it's a start. Take a look at w3schools.com for more javascript tutorials on opening windows

<script type="text/javascript">
var popupSomeWindow = function ()
{
  window.open('someurltopopup', 'someparams=hello');
  return false;
};
<a href="someurltopopup?someparams=hello" target="_blank" onclick="return popupSomeWindow();">Popup or new window</a>

Ok I put this together and seems to work beautiful, thanks for the referral.

<a href="http://mywebsite.com" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://mywebsite.com','popup','width=507,height=600,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,'); return false"><MY LINK" /></a>
