Topic awaiting preservation: pop up question (Page 1 of 1)

hi guys
i have a pop up function(evil, i know) that opens up a window(with a desired page in it) if you call the function. however, what i want is that if i call the function again, then there shouldnt be another pop up, it should get loaded in the same window. could anyone help me with that? this would be great
here is the code:

<script language="javascript">

<!-- Begin

function popUp(URL) {

day = new Date();

id = day.getTime();

eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=660,height=550,left = 310,top = 237');");

}

// End -->

</script>

Quick for everyone: You need to pass in a name a the second parameter to that
function call. Then it should work...

So as you want the second parameter to stay constant and not change every time the function is called (which happens through the id = day.getTime(); line in your current script) you can leave most of it out and also get rid of the evil eval along the way:

function popUp(URL) {

    page = window.open(URL, 'page', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=660,height=550,left = 310,top = 237');

}

big thanks! i really appreciate your help

any time =)
