Mini Mode JavaScript to open Browser Window
« on: May 04, 2005, 03:47:30 pm »

Is there a way to use the JavaScript code to open a browser window?

I am planning on making changes and enhancements to my skin on a regular basis and I wanted to have a place where people could go (within the skin) to check if they have the latest version.

I used the normal "window.open()" method, but I get an error saying that the object "window" is undefined. If I cannot do it this way, is there a better means?

I did a little bit more digging and found out that I can use ClassIDs in the "Placeholders" tag, but I don't know the ID for the default web browser of a system nor have I been able to get any ClassIDs to work.

Was this disabled? Anybody know the ClassID for the Default web browser or what is needed for this feature to work?

I am assuming now that many parts of JavaScript have been blocked.

Now I am trying to MJAutomation.GetInternet() to download a file, but that isn't working either.

Code:
MJAutomation.GetInternet("DownloadToTempFile('http://www.echo-digitaldesign.com/media_center/forum/mc_forum_image.gif').DownloadMode=DOWNLOAD_MODE_DEFAULT")

I get an error saying that the property is not supported.

I am trying to get this to eventually allow for a "Check for updates" button within the skin. Is this the right method or is there a better way?
