Javascript open new window

To open a new window by using javascript we need to use window.open method. We can customize the window.open method as per the requirement.

Syntax:

window.open([URL], [Window Name], [Feature List], [Replace]);

Simple Example:

<a href="javascript:%20void(0)" onclick="window.open('popup.html', 'windowname1', 'width=200, height=77'); return false;">Click here for simple popup window</a>

This is a simple window.open method with minimum features included.

The features supported by the window.open method is:

Width --- Auto --- specifies width of the new window in pixels
height --- Auto --- height of the window in pixels
top --- Auto --- specifies window position
left --- Auto --- specifies window position
directories --- no--- should the directories bar be shown? (Links bar)
location --- no--- specifies the presence of the location bar
resizable --- no--- specifies whether the window can be resized.
menubar --- no--- specifies the presence of the menu bar
toolbar --- no--- specifies the presence of the toolbar
scrollbars --- no--- specifies the presence of the scrollbars
status --- no--- specifies the presence of the statusbar

Example when added the above features is:

<a href="javascript: void(0)"
onclick="window.open('popup.html',
'windowname2',
'width=200, \
height=77, \
directories=no, \
location=no, \
menubar=no, \
resizable=no, \
scrollbars=1, \

return false;">Click here for specific popup window</a>
