How to write a URL Opener using JavaScript

Post by **Neo** » Wed Feb 17, 2010 3:24 am

This is a simple script written by me on a forum request.

If you want to open urls in tabs instead of windows, see article at https://robot.lk/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=1286

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Free URL Opener</title>

<!-- Written by Neo @ ROBOT.LK 2010 -->

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function OpenURL(txid) {
    
    var lines;
    var TA = document.getElementById(txid).value;
    if(document.all) { // IE
        lines = TA.split("\r\n");
    }
    else { //Mozilla
        lines = TA.split("\n");
    }

    for(var i=0; i<lines.length; i++) {
        window.open(lines[i], 'example' + i);
    }
}
-->
</script>
</head>


<body>

<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td><strong>Free URL Opener</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>

<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">

</tr>

<tr>

<td><input type="button" value="Open" onclick="OpenURL('urls')" /><input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset"></td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

Thank you for your code.. its really very helpful
Its working fine if we use the complete URL with h t t p: // w w w. prefix

How can we modify this code to work even for the URLs without h t t p : // or w w w

awaiting your reply...

Thanks

Just check whether the line has http prefix. If it is not available, just add it in the JavaScript code. Simple!

use this function for that. One thing just google before ask, this is the first search item of my googling search.

Code: Select all

function isUrl(s) {
	var regexp = /(ftp|http|https):\/\/(\w+:{0,1}\w*@)?(\S+)(:[0-9]+)?(\/|\/([\w#!:.?+=&%@!\-\/]))?/
	return regexp.test(s);
}
