Re: Opening multiple windows

[Gordon McComb <gmccomb@ix.netcom.com>]

Your onClick event calls a function with the multiple window instructions.
For example, suppose onClick="openWin()":

function openWin() {
        win1 = window.open ("doc1", "document1")
        win2 = window.open ("doc2", "document2")
}

The above doesn't take into account the Mac and X-Windows bug where you have
to open each window twice, but you get the general idea.

Similarly, you call a single function with multiple close instructions:

function closeWin() {
        win1.close();
        win3.close();
}

For #3, you can just call a function with onClick for each button that opens
the window (or you can put the contents of the function right in the onClick
string):

function openDoc1 () {
        win1 = window.open ("doc1", "document1")
}

and another:

function openDoc2 () {
        win1 = window.open ("doc2", "document2")
}

When you you open windows, though, *remember the Mac and X-Windows bug*.
