Here's my scenario:
I have a page containing several links; each link is meant to open another window containing a pdf. The catch is, I can't have that window directly go to the PDF because I do not want to make it apparent to the end user the PDF is located on another domain, and I need to name the PDF differently than how it would regularly show up.
So then I have two pages: One is blank, and only contains a frame to be used for displaying the pdfs:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>[PDF]</title>
</head>
<frameset>
<frame id="pdfFrame">
</frameset>
</html>
And on the page with the links, I have the following function that calls this page (we'll call the above page "pdf.html"):
function OpenWindow(pdfTitle, pdfLocation)
{
var myWindow = window.open("pdf.html", "", "toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=700,height=600");
myWindow.document.title = pdfTitle;
myWindow.document.getElementById('pdfFrame').src = pdfLocation;
}
For the most part, this seems to work fine; however, on occasion the pop up window will not be loaded prior to the lines above that setup the title/frame source, and it will crash (or not load properly, at least).
My question is, is there a simple way for me to add in some sort of blocking call after opening the window, to wait until we're ready to run this code?
Thanks!
