king arthur Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 You can open a new browser window from the current one with javascript:[code]newWindow = window.open("yourURL", "yourwindowName")[/code]where yourURL is the address of the page you want opened, and yourwindowName is the object name. You can now address objects in the new window using newWindow.document.whatever... Does this help any?

nogray Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Scripts cannot control a page or a window on a different domain (security risk).

iPixel Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Ive seen this done with C-sharp.... any idea why that isnt considered a "Security Risk" ?It was basically a PC application that found a specific and specified window (hard coded) that was already opened and basicallycontrolled it. Im attempting the same with JavaScript.

king arthur Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Javascript can only control a browser window it has opened itself. It doesn't matter what the URL is.

nogray Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Even if the javascript opened the window, you cannot get any elements from the new window if it was in a different domain. For example, if you are trying to get the HTML code, or a input value. You'll get "Access Denied" error.Here are general restriction when opening a window, from MSDN[a href=\"http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/window_restric.asp\" target=\"_blank\"]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....dow_restric.asp[/a]If the application was a desktop application (or a PC) application, it'll be considered as a trusted application so there are less restrictions.You can try to create an HTA file (normal HTML, just rename it to something.hta) which is a trusted html application. It'll have less restrictions, and you can run it from you PC. I am not sure if you can access remote sites with it or not.[a href=\"http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/hta/overview/htaoverview.asp\" target=\"_blank\"]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....htaoverview.asp[/a] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/10282-control-another-browser-window/#findComment-43394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
