popup with cookies... need to fix

[onyxxxx]

Hi, I have a simple html website and I want that music would play in it. I decided to use a JS popup window. But I have one problem with my script. It has cookies with session:


<script type="text/javascript">
var popurls=new Array()

popurls[0]="music/dance.html"
popurls[1]="music/dj.html"
popurls[2]="music/hiphop.html"

function openpopup(popurl){
var winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=370,height=10")
}
function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
offset += search.length
// set index of beginning of value
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
// set index of end of cookie value
if (end == -1)
end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}
function loadornot(){
if (get_cookie('jkpopup')==''){
openpopup(popurls[Math.floor(Math.random()*(popurls.length))])
document.cookie="jkpopup=yes"
}
}
loadornot()
</script>


So, when the popup is loading it's ok. When I am going through pages which have the same popup link, the popup is not refreshing, which is also good. But when popup has a different link (for example "hiphop.html") it is not refreshing.

Is it possible to make a different link to work in this popup?

I'm a little confused by your explanation. Are you saying that you have a grouping of pages which will make the popup go to one specific page, and other groupings of pages that make the popup redirect to a different specific page?

Note: Popup blockers will block the opening of a popup unless it is user interacted, such as an onclick event. This will greatly affect the implementation of your code.

Personally, I would stick with using the AJAX method, as discussed in your other thread (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=452669).

Yes. Exactly, there is a several group of pages. The popup window should open by a link, but only if it's another link in a popup. If the popup link (music/dance.html) is the same going through several same group pages, the popup should not refresh.

Is it possible?

Why can't you just create your own custom function which controls the url of the popup? Then you can call that function within the links.

<script type="text/javascript">
function popUpURL(url) {
var popup = your popup handler
if (popup.location != url) {popup.location = url;}
}
</script>

<a href="" onclick="popUpURL('http://www.example.com/page.html')">Link</a>
