http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12708 Bug ID: 12708 Summary: Unexpected behaviour in IE 9 and lower when using openWindow Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Templates Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: dcook@prosentient.com.au QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Currently, we use a Javascript function called "openWindow" in staff-global.js as a bit of a helper function for executing "window.open". Well, there is a problem with the "name" argument when using IE 9 and lower. If the "name" has a space or certain punctuation (NOT including underscores), it'll throw an error which causes unexpected behaviours. For instance, if you open "Help" in the staff client using IE 9 or lower, it'll open the help page into the current window rather than a pop-up, which is far from desirable. I've noticed after a few greps that we usually use an alphabetic string with no spaces or punctuation when using the "name" parameter for window.open. According to Mozilla (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.open), this is the recommended way of writing a "name". There are only a few instances where "openWindow" seems to use a string containing spaces for "name". The best thing to do is probably fix those instances as well as add a try/catch in openWindow for times where someone makes a mistake. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
