I found some code to open a link in a new window, and then change the current window to something new as well. This works fine in Firefox, but testing it in IE8 doesn't work.
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function poptastic(url)
{
newwin=window.open(url,'name','top=0,left=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1');
newwin.moveTo(0,0);
newwin.resizeTo(newwin.screen.availWidth, newwin.screen.availHeight);
if (window.focus) {newwin.focus()}
window.location = "thankyou.php";
}
</script>and for the link:
<input id="submit1" name="submit1" type="button" onClick="javascript:poptastic('http://www.google.com');" value="Continue" /></div>In IE8 it doesn't change the old window, the new window doesn't open full screen, and it shows an error: Access is denied.
However if I change the url to a local page like:
<input id="submit1" name="submit1" type="button" onClick="javascript:poptastic('newwindow.php');" value="Continue" /></div>it works fine. It's only when specifying a page outside my domain it causes problems. Any ideas?
