window.open() on a multi-monitor/dual-monitor system - where does window pop up?

Question

When using javascript window.open() on a multi-monitor system, how do you control which monitor, or where in the display space the popup opens? It seems out of control to me

Answer 1

Here is a solution:

function openWindow( url, winnm, options)
{
    var wLeft = parseInt( typeof window.screenX != 'undefined' ? window.screenX : window.screenLeft );

    var left = 0;

    if( (result = /left=(\d+)/g.exec(options)) ) {
        left = parseInt(result[1]);
    }

    if(options)
    {
       options = options.replace("left="+left,"left="+(parseInt(left) + wLeft));        
       w = window.open( url, winnm, options );
    }
    else
    {
       w = window.open( url, winnm );
    }

    if(w)
         w.focus();

    return w;
}

You just need to replace in your js files: window.open to openWindow
