window.open

I have some simple JavaScript code like this: <script type="text/javascript"> function openWindow() { var mywindow = window.open("file.html"); mywindow.document.getElementById("foo").innerHTML="Hey you!!"; } </script> This function is called with an onclick event. The window opens fine, but the element's innerHTML does not change. It is a file I own, so I know I am not being blocked by any security policy, and the element with id 'foo' definitely exists. (It is a DIV). I have tried other variations of .innerHTML like .src and .value, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

How can I disable window.open() using html, javascript, jQuery...? I mean block any window open attempt, making "not-working" all existing window.open() functions. Which are the best ways to do it? (working also in case of iframes) //for iframes: $.each($('iframe'), function() { this.contentWindow.open = function (url, windowName, windowFeatures) { //iframe window.open caught! }; }); //for window: window.open = function (url, windowName, windowFeatures) { //window.open caught! }; You'd be polluting the global namespace, but you could simply override the window.open method... window.open =

If you try to open a new window with window.open WITHOUT disturbing the current window, the onbeforeunload gets called. Does anyone know how to stop this? I even tried setting a variable to TRUE and check that variable in my onbeforeunload function and it still dosent work! I just need to be able to stop the execution of that method for AJAX calls and new window calls. Another and probably

I am opening an popup in Javascript with: function popup(title,w,h,site) { x = screen.availWidth/2-w/2; y = screen.availHeight/2-h/2; var date = new Date() var ticks = date.getTime(); var popupWindow = window.open( title,"popup"+ticks,'width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+x+',top='+y+',screenX='+x+',screenY='+y+',resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,titlebar=yes,hotkeys=yes,status=yes,dependent=no,location=1'); popupWindow.document.write(site); return popupWindow; } When I right click the new window, the "save as"-dialog is deactivated in chrome. How can I enable it? What am I doing
