I have an html javascript program that opens 4 browser windows. I want to run this from the command line and include arguments that specify the URLs to be opened. Is this possible?
The current code looks like this:
<html>
<script>
function openWindows(url1, url2, url3, url4) {
window1=window.open(url1,'','width=725,height=480');
window1.moveTo(0, 0);
window2=window.open(url2,'','width=725,height=480');
window2.moveTo(0, 480);
window3=window.open(url3,'','width=725,height=480');
window3.moveTo(725, 0);
window4=window.open(url3,'','width=725,height=480');
window4.moveTo(725, 480);
};
</script>
<body onload="openWindows()">
</html>
How can I modify it so that it can be run with URL arguments form the command line? Im using a macbook. Thanks
It is not possible (At least in practicality) to interface from your MacBook Terminal/Command Prompt window and a Javascript webpage.
I would recommend that you look at other methods to try and accomplish this, such as an Apple Script which can open up your browser and navigate to 4 separate URLs.
However, if you must do it in Javascript, and you must be able to send these commands from your terminal, I would look into having your terminal accept 4 URL inputs, and then write the URLs to a Javascript file.
>> Input URL 1: ...
>> Input URL 2: ...
>> Input URL 3: ...
>> Input URL 4: ...
>> Now that you have the 4 urls, write to a Javascript file in the format:
var url1 = inputfromurl1;
var url2 = inputformurl2; //And so on for 4 urls
function openWindows()
{
window1=window.open(url1,'','width=725,height=480');
window1.moveTo(0, 0);
window2=window.open(url2,'','width=725,height=480');
window2.moveTo(0, 480);
window3=window.open(url3,'','width=725,height=480');
window3.moveTo(725, 0);
window4=window.open(url3,'','width=725,height=480');
window4.moveTo(725, 480);
};
Then I would save that file as browserscript.js or something similar. I would then have a HTML file like such:
<html>
<head>
<script src="browserscript.js"/>
</head>
<body onload="openWindows();">
</body>
