Ok,

On my website I have a guestbook (provided by @home), ..when someone posts a message, and clicks "Submit", it goes to "/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl". Which has a WHITE background, but the left and top frame on my site has a BLACK background! (it kinda looks stupid) But I can't edit the ".pl" page in anyway!!

Is there a way to skip the "guestbook.pl" page all together!!??

Please Reply!!
Thank You.

-Ron

oh, and...When someone enters the url to their site (in the URL feild), the link opens in the same frame! Can I change that so it opens in a new window??

Hello Ron,

You can edit guestbook.pl very easily.
just open your guestbook.pl in notpad .In that you may see the <body> html tag.
just cut and paste the following insted of <body> tag.

print "<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF">n";

If you are facing some problem just tell me i'll change for you.


For opening a URL in a new window you can use -target="_blank" inside the form tag.

see this eg:,

<form method="POST" target="_blank">

<p><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>

Thanks for your help...
...but I'm not that much of a "beginner"

The "guestbook.pl" page is @ http://members.home.net/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl So I can't edit it... (It's used by ALL @Home members webpages)
...I was thinking of creating my own guestbook,...but @home doesn't support custom cgi scripts.
I don't know what 2 do.

I tried that before (using target="_blank") but it doesn't work...
Here's part of the script...

<!--start of form-->
<form action="/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl" method="POST">

<td>URL:</td>
<td colspan="2"><input type="text" size="50" name="url" value="http://"></td>

If I put target="_blank" in after value="http://" it doesn't work...and if I put it in the form tag, it opens "guestbook.pl" in a new window when clicking "Submit"...

.oO(???)
-Ron

Nevermind...I did it!!

I made the "addguest.html" page into 2 frames, (1 hidden frame), and targeted the "guestbook.pl" page to the hidden frame...

But I STILL don't know how to make the links on my guestbook page open in a new window. Is there a script that will open ALL links on a page in a new window, without having to put a "target" for each one.
Or is there something I can add in the the "form", that will do the same? (b/c adding target="blank" doesn't work...

-Ron

Hi,
sorry,i couldn't see your posting past 2-3 days.


write a small javascript function for opening the html page in a new window.

function call_new(url){
window.open(url,300,400);
}

then call the function in form submit...

probably you may pass value of the formfield.

<form onSubmit="call_new(document.form1.field1.value);">

I figured it out, Thanks.

I just added <base target="_blank"> in the <head> tag.

I noticed in this post you mentioned a hidden frame. I have a need to popup a hidden window. How do you do that?

Thanks

Russ
