I need to open a Popup window on clicking a button in a xhtml page. I have written something like that:

<p:mandButton type="submit" value="Select User" onclick="showGrpMemberSearchPageCalenderLeave()"/>

and the java script is like:

function showGrpMemberSearchPageCalenderLeave()
{
    window.open('./SearchGroupMembersLeaveCalander.xhtml,resizable=no,
    toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,height=450,width=530,top=145,left=235');

    return true;
}

But it just opens the page in the current window, no pop up window is opening.Please suggest.

• You should return false to stop p:mandButton further processing, also do the change proposed by @Markipe's answer – Alexandre Lavoie Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 6:35
• 1 Just use <p:dialog> instead of all that mess? – BalusC Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 13:15
• @BalusC I enough googled and everyone provided solution around the <P:dialog>. I am not able to use because of it's library support. I found that dialog attribute is supported by primefaces/ui library. I think this is primefaces library. Can you please guide me about this. – kailash gaur Commented Oct 26, 2015 at 17:29

1 Answer 1

try this one instead

function showGrpMemberSearchPageCalenderLeave() { 
     window.open('./SearchGroupMembersLeaveCalander.xhtml','mywindow', 'resizable=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,height=450,width=530,top=145,left=235');
     return true;
 }

Syntax

window.open(url, windowName, specs);
