Hello everyone.
Sorry if I post in wrong place, there were no section for newbies in .js forum :frowning:

Can someone explain why chrome and IE blocking my javascript code? javascript is enabled in both, and .js from other website’s works well …

Here’s my code:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Your page title</title>
	<meta name="description" content="page_description">
	<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyw2, keyw3">
	<meta name="author" content="MrPaulius">
	<meta charset="utf-8">
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
	<script type="text/javascript" src="java.js"></script>
</head>

<body>

	<form>
		<input type="text" name="inputA" id="inputA" size="4">
		<input type="text" name="inputB" id="inputB" size="4">
		<input type="button" value="Add up" onclick="newWindow()">
	</form>

</body>
</html>



function newWindow(){
	window.open();
}

Hi,

Your JavaScript needs to be within <script> tags, ideally just before the closing </body> tag.

Like this:

    <script>
      function newWindow(){
        window.open();
      }
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

sorry forgot to mention, js code is in external file.

If it is in an external file then that file needs to be attached into the HTML with a script tag just before the </body>

5

It is attached in head, isint that where it supposed to be?
My IE says that it restricted page from running scripts or ActiveX controls.

Once i allow it, js works. I can understand why… js works properly in other websites.

6

I’m guessing it’s because the js wants to open a window and the browsers are warning you.

Maybe there are some option settings like “allow script to …” somewhere you need to change?

7

With IE, you will need to allow the JS to run explicitly when you are running the file locally.
I haven’t tried this, but according to Google you can up enable Active Content from local files in the advanced tab of the Internet Options.
