I am opening a new window using javascript and write content to the new window. Part of the content is a javascript file, but the javascript does not execute in the new window. Help?

open.html:

XML

<script>
function winopen()
{
  var ghtml = "<h1>sasaasas</h1>";
  var gwin = window.open("", "_blank", "location=no,width=1000,height=600");
  if (gwin)
  { gwin.document.open();
    gwin.document.write(ghtml);

    var oscript = gwin.document.createElement("script");
    oscript.type = "text/javascript";
    oscript.src = "open.js";
    gwin.document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(oscript);

    //gwin.document.close();
  }
}
winopen();
</script>

open.js:

C#

function init() { alert("winwin"); }
setTimeout(function() { init(); }, 2000);

Solution 1

In your code, you did not show anything which should trigger execution of your script. The solution is simple: you should have some script placed as a child of the element "body" or your "html" element. Another approach is adding the attribute onload to the <body> element (see, for example https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/body[^]). As you did not show your HTML content of your created window, I am not sure if you tried to do so, most likely not.

Hi Sergey

Thanks for the reply and for taking so long to reply.
I managed to solve it in simple HTML, but the weird thing is that some parts work in IE and other work in chrome:

open.html
<body>
<input type="text" önclick="alert('text'); winopen();"></input>

<script>
function winopen()
{
var ghtml = "

sasaasas

";
var gwin = window.open("", "_blank", "location=no,width=1000,height=600");
if (gwin)
{ gwin.document.open();
gwin.document.write(ghtml);

var oscript = gwin.document.createElement("script");
oscript.type = "text/javascript";
oscript.src = "open.js";
//oscript.onload = function() { init(); };
gwin.document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(oscript);

//gwin.document.close();
}
}
winopen(); // works in IE11, not chrome
</script>
</body>

open.js
function init() { alert("winwin"); }
setTimeout(function() { init(); }, 2000); // work in chrome, not IE11
