How do I get JavaScript to open a popup window on the current monitor

by

You can’t specify the monitor, but you can specify the position of the popup window as being relative to the where the click caused the window to popup.

Use the getMouseXY() function to get values to pass as the left and top args to the window.open() method. (the left and top args only work with V3 and up browsers).

window.open docs:
http://www.javascripter.net/faq/openinga.htm

function getMouseXY( e ) {
    if ( event.clientX ) { // Grab the x-y pos.s if browser is IE.
        CurrentLeft = event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft;
        CurrentTop  = event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;
    }
    else {  // Grab the x-y pos.s if browser isn't IE.
        CurrentLeft = e.pageX;
        CurrentTop  = e.pageY;
    }  
    if ( CurrentLeft < 0 ) { CurrentLeft = 0; };
    if ( CurrentTop  < 0 ) { CurrentTop  = 0; };  

    return true;
}
