Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Share resources issue

Are you using IE? If you are, try Firefox.

My initial answer was going to be no, there isn't any way to do it as it is hardcoded to use the same window.

But I just tried this: I created a shared resources activity with three entries, two of which had the open in popup turned on. When I ran it in preview, I click on the first link, got up the window with the instruction and clicked the "open URL in pop-up" link and the popup window came up with the first website.

Then I clicked on the second "popup on" link. It replaced the instruction window (as expected) but when I clicked on "Open URL in pop-up" up came another window. It didn't reuse the popup window.

This was in Firefox 2.0.0.4 on the Mac.

I had a look at the code on the page and I think we have a bug on the page (javascript is mistyped javascipt), and that may be why I ended up with two popup windows.

I'll fire up Windows in the morning and check IE there.

Curiouser and curiouser. I love bugs that enhance functionality.....
