Chrome & PopUp Window Names

I am opening pop up windows from a website (flash content) the following way: RING = window.open(path,'RING_Projekt','width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,top=' + t + ',left=' + l +'

Solution 1:

Ok, I am a 99.99% sure this is a Chrome bug, so I'll answer this myself.

Chrome seems to read the specified title correctly from the HTML (as it will be displayed in the task bar), but seems to have problems when having to display the name in the bar on the popup (see screenshot below). When you start to fiddle with the popup (move / resize), the title will sometimes appear and disappear again. Yet, the names in the task bar will always be right (that plus the fact that it works in every other browser lets me think it is a bug).

I am running Chrome 14.0.835.186 m on Windows Vista.

its a open bug

Solution 3:

This is a bug with Chrome. However, there is a workaround for this.

If you put the following script in the page that opens in the popup window, it seems to work fine.

<script language"text/javascript">this.window.resizeBy(1,1);this.window.resizeBy(-1,-1);</script>

Solution 4:

The second argument to window.open isn't the <title> of the new window, used by <a target="...">, for example.. The title is determined by the content of the page.

See MDN docs for more info.
