javascript function call issue on safari

[Viralraj Upadhyay]

Hi,

This is specific to safari 2.0.4 on mac 10.4.7. Works fine on safari 2.0.3 and other browsers.On my JSP page I have 4-5 links. Each link is a call to a javascript function, which in turn opens a new html window. After I log in, a click on any one of the link opens the appropriate window, but other links dont work after that. When i refresh i could click on any one of the links again but subsequent clicking on other links does not work. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Code?

I kind of now see what the problems is. IE uses a function call showModalWindow which is not supported by safari. So my code tries to emulate that function.

if (typeof Event != 'undefined' && Event != null &&
        typeof Event.CLICK != 'undefined' && typeof Event.FOCUS != 'undefined')
    {
        window.captureEvents (Event.CLICK|Event.FOCUS)
        window.onklick=IgnoreEvents;
        window.onfocus=HandleFocus;
    }
    var str = "dependent=yes,width=" + width + ",height=" + height;
    if (window.screen) {
       var ah = screen.availHeight - 30;
       var aw = screen.availWidth - 10;
 
       var xc = (aw - width) / 2;
       var yc = (ah - height) / 2;
 
       str += ",left=" + xc + ",screenX=" + xc;
       str += ",top=" + yc + ",screenY=" + yc;
       //str += ",z-lock=yes";
    }
    windowTitle = "ModalChild" + escape(page);
    var dotIndex = windowTitle.indexOf(".");
    if (dotIndex ">" 0) 
    {
        windowTitle = windowTitle.substring(0, dotIndex);
    }
    var slashIndex = windowTitle.indexOf("\/");
    if (slashIndex ">" 0) 
    {
        windowTitle = windowTitle.substring(0, slashIndex);
    }
 
    winModalWindow = window.open(page, windowTitle, str); //When called, whether this dialog box does the required action or it is closed, the links don't work. Is it that the focus doesnot get back to those links? In the page the dialog box handles i do parent.window.close() on cancel click. but then too the links dont work.
winModalWindow.focus();
}
function HandleFocus()
{
  if (winModalWindow)
  {
    if (!winModalWindow.closed)
    {
      winModalWindow.focus()
    }
    else
    {
      window.releaseEvents (Event.CLICK|Event.FOCUS)
      window.onklick = ""
    }
  }
  return false
}

Is there any other means i could handle the showModalWindow for safari?

showModalWindow is proprietary to IE and is not supported by any other browser than IE.
