Window Methods In this installment we are going to take a look at the methods that are associated with the window object.
Window Object Event Handlers In this installment, we'll wrap up our study of the window object by learning how to use the most common of the window event handlers. We'll also take a look at some links for additional help.
Opening Windows with JavaScript One of the most useful (and quite possibly the most abused) features of JavaScript is its ability to manipulate browser windows…
OnMouseOver Pop-up Window
This next example causes another window to popup when your mouse goes over the image. This window is a standard web page, you can designate the demensions as well.
Opening a New Window To open a new window, you will need to use yet another ready-made JavaScript function. Here is what it looks like…
Changing 2 Frames at Once You want to change more than one frame at a time? OK, well here is how to do make the trick work for you. The first thing you will need is a frameset to get you started. Again, I will use a frameset with two frames. Here is the code for the frameset page.
Frames and JavaScript JavaScript and Frames. Frames and JavaScript. Sounds like a mess doesn't it? Well, it does make things a bit more complicated. Let's see if we can figure out how to get those frames to work with our scripts.
window Object and Pop-up Windows In this last lesson we will talk briefly about the most top level object in JavaScript hierarchy which of course is the window Object. The section concerning pop-up windows is not complete yet but I do provied a link to a page on my JavaScript Corral Site
Frame Breaker This script breaks a page out of another site's frames so your viewers aren't trapped in those frames.
Frame Redirector This script will redirect a viewer to your main page if they load one of your interior pages without your frame navigation.
New Window
This script will open a new window when a viewer clicks on the link.
Frames in Java Script This page deals with loading pages in their proper parent, the frame buster code, and loading orphan pages in their proper frames.
Hyperlinks in Frames We have looked at menus and jumps from page to page, but we have not looked at menus in frames. The first example…
More on Frames Frames can be useful and on other occasions they can be a nuisance. Many hate frames, and others love them and make all sorts of complex frames in one page. In this lesson we will look at…
Loading Orphan Pages in Their Frame You can load stray pages into their frames by using this code. First put the function in the frameset page below in your frameset page, changing the name of the frame where you want to load the page to one suiting your own page (change "lowerPage"). Call
A slide show with JavaScript using Frames there is a function which moves through the pages automatically when the checkbox is checked. This is called automatically. Here is its code…
A slide show with JavaScript using Frames To sound of the trumpets and the roll of the drums, we present the JavaScript Slide Show. By clicking on the buttons below you can move the pages forwards or backwards. This is a very convenient way to present information. The navigation is always in fron

WinOpen Opens a new browser with the specified width, height and windows features (e.g. toolbar, menu bar, scrollbar and location bar). Useful wrapper script over the window.open() method.
Keep Page In Frames Script Now and then people get to a page which needs to be kept in a frame. This script keeps pages which need to be in a frame in it.
Break Out of Frames This script uses a link to break out of frames. You place the code where you want it to appear on your page and once clicked it will break the page out of any frames. If the page is shown outside of a frame the link will disappear.
Keep Page Out of Frames Script Many times people will link to your site and keep your pages within their own frames so that the surfer can get back to their own page. This script prevents that from occuring.
Opening New Windows This is the first of two primers on opening a new window. This first primer will deal with the JavaScript commands you would use to open a new window. The new window will display a second HTML document.
Opening a Window with a Function Here, we're going to create a new window function where the new window and all of its contents will be carried along in the same HTML document. It is literally the equivalent of two pages in one.
Frameset Scripts Javascript can be a powerful addition to frames pages. One of the biggest disadvantages of frame based websites has been that you could not refer to your subpages, unless you wanted the visitor to open it oustside the frameset.
Frameset Script: The Code As mentioned on the previous page, you need to enter a small script in the section of both your subpages and your frameset page.
Frameset Script: Examples To let you try out the scripts we produced a sample page. It consists of four files...

Javascript Windows & Frames Tutorials - Window Sizer
This is a JavaScript that shows you different window dimensions. It helps you to customize your web pages with the dimensions that best compliment your web site.
Window Manipulation in JavaScript
While opening windows in HTML is very handy, it's also limiting; the Web browser controls how the window looks. You have no control over the size of the window or what the window looks like. Happily, JavaScript gives you this control.
Windows Features
The third parameter of the window.open() method is a list of features that you'd like your window to have. As you've seen, if you don't include this parameter at all, the window will contain all the features of a default browser window.
Communicating between Windows
Although it doesn't make sense to blur or focus the window you're on, you might well want to move another window to the fore. In order to communicate with a window using JavaScript, you need a reference to that window…
Getting Framed
We'll see in this lesson relate to frames and how to use them with JavaScript.
No Frames
This script is very important for you, if you have problems protecting your own pages and their content. People will just link your page in a frameset and make it seem that it is their own work. To break out of their frameset we use the following script.
blur() and focus()
These two methods are used for focusing in windows. The blur() method moves the window to the background, behind the main window. The focus() method moves the window to the foreground, on top of the others ("bringing it into focus").
open()
This method is used for opening a new window. It takes three parameters: the URL of the file to be opened, the name of the window (for reference) and the attributes to be used in the new window…
moveBy()
This method is used to move a window to a new location on the screen. The window is "moved by" the number of pixels given within the parameters in the method.
scrollBy() This method is used to determine the distance, in pixels, that the document will scroll in a window.
Window Object Event Handlers An event handler is a JavaScript keyword that allows a script to perform certain functions based on events on a Web page.
onUnload This event handler is used to execute a script before the page in the browser is exited. This usually happens when a visitor attempts to leave the current page.
Writing Dynamic Content to a New Window This script not only opens a new window, it dynamically writes the HTML to the document contained in the window. Notice the first parameter of the open method in the example below. We are not specifying a file name.
JavaScript's Frame Path JavaScript treats each frame as a separate window, so you have as much control over an individual page within a frameset as you would with a regular window.
Frames An often asked question is how frames and JavaScript work together. First I want to explain what frames are and what they can be used for…
Loading into two frames simultaneously Do you know that using some simple JavaScript function you can load different pages into different frames simulteneously if those frames are located on the same page.
- Window scrolling If you are making the chat application, this tutorial is very useful You can show exactly the last entry on the page.
The Window Object The window object represents the browser window the document is being displayed in. It contains information about both the display window and the browser displaying the document…
Working with Frames A frame is a window within a window. Using frames allows you to divide a browser window into a collection of panes. Each pane can then be used to display a separate document.
Working with Windows JavaScript also allows you to write code that works between windows.
The new window methods With the help of 6 new window methods, moving, scrolling, and resizing a window programmatically becomes trivial a task. These new methods are…
Moving a window JavaScript allows you to move a window either relatively…
Javascript Windows & Frames Tutorials - Scrolling a window Same concept, just different actions. The new scrollBy() and scrollTo() methods of JavaScript1.2 allow you to programmatically scroll the window either up-down, left-right, or both.
Resizing a window Same concept again, different action again. The new resizeBy() and resizeBy() methods of JavaScript1.2 allow you to programmatically resize the window.
How to access objects in one frame from another The title may be a little ambiguous, but lets do an example to see what I mean by "cross-accessing" objects. Lets say we have a basic two-columned frame...
Using JavaScript to load multiple frames So what good is it to cross-access objects, you ask? Well, one of the most popular uses of such is to load and change the content of more than one frame at one. Without JavaScript, there isn't a prayer. Lets say we have the following example…
OBJECT: Frame A Frame object is created by using the HTML tag in a Window that contains the tag…
OBJECT: Window As the top level object in the JavaScript client hierarchy, every browser window and frame has a corresponding Window object, created automatically with every instance of a or tag.
Cross-window scripting If you're using popups, inevitably the time comes when you want to call scripts in another window. This page explains the basics of cross-window JavaScripting.
Customized Framesets This script helps you to create a frameset with a content page other than the homepage. When you write a static frameset, you force users to enter at your homepage. In my own site, I want people to be able to enter anywhere they want but nonetheless be in
Frame Busting This page explains the difficulties with frame busting: that is, preventing that your page is caught in someone else's frameset.
