JSV_hyperLink - JavaScript Vision

Determines if any child windows are open that have the CLOSEBEFOREPARENT option set. If this option is set and an attempt is made to go to another page, then the child window is brought forward for the user to close before leaving the parent.

Syntax

JSV_hyperLink(URL [, replace])

Returns

n/a

Parameters

The JSV_hyperLink function uses the following arguments.

Argument	Description
URL	A string specifying the relative or absolute URL of the file to be loaded into the pop-up window. (See the `Location` object for a description of the URL components.)
replace	Optional. A Boolean value, either true (set this to true only if using Navigator 3+ or Internet Explorer 4+) or false. If true, then the current history entry is replaced with the new page being loaded (i.e., the last location in the browser's history object is overwritten by the new location). Default value is false.

Remarks

Note: If the user decides to navigate to another Web page using any other method (e.g., by clicking the browser's Back, Forward or Home buttons) than that provided by a Web page (e.g., JSV_hyperLink or JSV_onSubmit), then there is no way to inhibit the loading of the new Web page. The onUnload event handler, is used primarily to perform minimal shutdown processing when the user exits a Web page (e.g., closing child windows), and cannot prevent the unloading of the Web page.

<A HREF="javascript:JSV_hyperLink('testpage.htm');"
   onMouseOver="window.status='Click here to go to selected page'; return true;"
   onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true;">Click here</A>
