Multiple windows

Posted by Dr. Bob on January 9, 1999, at 10:35:08

Hi,

I made a change here. Now when you click on the main page on a link to a post, you should get that post in a separate window.

I like this better because I can just keep two windows open, one with the main page and one with the posts, which makes it easier to go back and forth. Let me know what you think.

Multiple frames in one window

While I was at it, I made up a version that does the same thing with two frames instead of two windows. It's at:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/babble.html

FYI, that URL used to give you the same thing as:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble

but now it doesn't anymore. The above one will give you the version with multiple windows, but without frames.

Uh, oh. Go back and check your coding, Dr Bob, because your frames version is targeting the full screen rather than the right hand frame. Otherwise, that's a nice thought.

I hesitate to applaud the multiple window version only because it can use a lot of RAM. If someone has limited resources it can cause some crashes, and if (heaven forfend) they are using the older version of Win95 with the virtual memory leak unpatched, they can be in for some significant difficulties.

Otherwise, good on ya, mate!

Hmm, it seems to be working for me. What browser are you using? I have Netscape's...

Hmm, good point. Has anyone run into trouble with it?
