[Koha-devel] value builders, spaces in window names

[Ignacio Javier]

Hi all:

Seems that due to a restriction in "not standard DHTML javascript window
object open method argument values" could exist (and in fact exists (*) in
some internet explorer versions, my 7.0.5730.13), an "informal behaviour"
that avoids opening of MARC assistants in Internet Explorer (those that
commonly open when clicking in underlined text '...' links at
http://.../cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl, for example).

In order to be let's say "more than concise but less than exhaustive" , this
is from mozilla developer site, window open:

(...)
strWindowName 

This is the string that just names the new window. Such string can be used
to be the target of links and forms when the target attribute of an <a>
element or of a <form> is specified. This string parameter should not
contain any blank space. strWindowName does not specify the title of the new
window.
(...)

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window.open#Return_value_and_parame
ters

..."should not contain any blank spaces" seems to be a **must not...** in
IE7

This is the list of files and strings I've found that seem to be affected in
a 02jan07 (3.00.00.040) git snapshot (*):

By the way, is window name used anywhere as target of any kind or simply
replacing by underscores will do the thing?

Hope it helps, and being helped...
