I'm currently working on a computer telephone integration system which connects phone handsets to a web interface. A call can be made from the SNOM handset using the http command: "http://admin:password@[phone ip address]/command.htm?number=[phonenumber]". This works correctly, except it opens a new window which redirects to the SNOM index page - I'm trying to stop this redirect but still enable the call to be made.
Instead of entering the URL directly into the browser I have a link which the user can press to start the call:
<a target="popup" onclick="dial()">Dial</a>
The link calls the dial() function which uses window.open() which is passed the corresponding url.
Here are the things I've tried to "hide" or disguise the newly opened tab:
- using window.open() then implementing a timeout of x milliseconds, then closing the tab using .close()
=> the page opened and dialled the number but didn't close - using window.document.open().write() to change the contents of the SNOM index page so it said 'Dialling Number' => This correctly rewrites the page so atleast it disguises the pop up but it changes the url to about:blank and the handset doesn't dial
- using window.blur() or setting the window "left"/"top" parameter to 10000 to move it off the page => this didn't work either, it just moved it into the corner.
- applying iframe to hide the frame => this caused further errors
- I tried numerous AJAX forms/methods and I didn't get very far.
To try and solve this, I visited the following stackoverflow links:
- Make a ping to a url without redirecting
- Hidden window using javascript
- sending an url but staying on the same page ( php, codeigniter, javascript )
In short, I need to be able to call the URL - "http://admin:password@[phone ip address]/command.htm?number=[phonenumber]" and to either hide the pop-up, close the pop up immediately but still make the call, or rewrite the page so it disguises it.
