I added a line to my rightclick menu for IE, to get me to a local html file if I want to get away from where I am fast. :tazz:

The menu works but the window crashes as soon as the local window opens.

I think the mistake is in my (too) simple Javascript.

<script language="javascript"> 
window.open("Spywareinfoen.html");
</script>

The script is in the same folder as the html, so that part works.

Is window.open the wrong command?

I'm dumb. :tazz:

The window crashed because my popup-blocker killed it.

Obvioulsy I don't want to disable it.
Does anybody know the script to load a new site in the same window?

TIA,

Hi Pieter,

The window.open function is used to make a new window. You can use HTML to do a meta refresh to refresh the browser to a new page.

<head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=URL"></head>

Hi Matt,

What I want is for the current window to go to my Startpage when I rightclick and choose that option.

Regards,

So you want to redirect yourself somewhere else with the right onlclick??!!
Well then dont use window.open because that will...well..open a new window =P

instead try this:
document.location="http://www.google.com";
