I think you gotta understand PHP scripts aren't just files you can "open". PHP files are meant to live on a proper HTTP server. When someone goes to the URL (something like example.com/script.php ) his or her client (the web browser) can do a GET request or a POST request. The php script can then do something with this data. In your example, JavaScript could store the password in a variable and pass it to PHP using an HTTP POST request via an HTML form or the fetch API (make sure its HTTPS when dealing with passwords). Your PHP script will have this data available in $_GET and $_POST and you can check it against a password hash. By the way, the if (password.toLowerCase() == "password") thing is a big no-no! Check out https://www.php.net/password and this video , you'll understand why. More on reddit.com

Flip the default so usually you don't get opener access, and you have to opt in to it · Not parse the URL relative to the entry settings object (Minimize usage of the entry concept #1431) but instead use the relevant settings object like other modern APIs. Not special case the empty string or about:blank URLs · Be extensible to future additional options without adding more terrible string parsing; see e.g. Use a different overload to handle window...

I have this function to ask for a basic password and then load a php script:
function passwd(){
var password = prompt('Enter the password');
if(password.toLowerCase() == "password"){
window.open("./files/restart-calibre.php")
}else{
alert("incorrect password!!");
}
}
As I am very new to this all of it is copied from stackoverflow.
Now this code does open the script in a new page which I do not want. What would be the best way to achieve this?

October 4, 2012 - OK, so I pretty much broke all rules of good practice because I have no asp.net mvc experience and couldn't figure out how to create a proper popup in my code. Well, I got the window to popup, but no view... anyway, I did it the old way with an asp page. Classic. The good stuff. Anyway, I have a link to the ASP page as a javascript window.open popup under the description on my product variant.

One large drawback to using a window.open() is the IE information bar that appears when a supposed pop-up is encountered. An alternative to window.open is to use the target tag on a link or form. But that doesn't give you as much control.

NodeJS "window.open("URL")" alternative?
Where have you put this call to `window.open()`? A node's .js file is all executed on the server side so can not open any web pages on the client (browser) side.

Your code is a little bit weird so it's hard to make the adjustment properly but this is gist of it:
showNewWindow: function(menu) {
var me = this,
newWindowId = sports.util.Utils.randomString(12);
//
// Make a synchronous request so that the new window will
// not load as a popup.
//
debugger;
var popup = sports.util.Utils.openNewWindow('', 'menu', {}, null, null, newWindowId);
Ext.Ajax.request({
async: false,
url: sports.util.Utils.getContextPath() + '/tabClicks.do',
params: {
oldWindowId: sports.util.Utils.getWindowName(),
newWindowId: newWindowId
},
success: function() {
popup.location.href = "/desktop/main";
},
scope: me
});
},

Popup blockers try to tell when a window is being opened in direct response to a user action or spontaneously by the application. The way they probably do this is by checking whether the function that called window.open() was run in response to a user-triggered event like a mouse click.
When you perform a synchronous AJAX request, the function that was triggered by the mouse click is still running when the response arrives and the success function calls window.open. So it's considered to be a user-requested window, not a popup.
When you use asynchronous AJAX, the click handler is no longer running when the success function runs. The asynchronous call to window.open is considered spontaneous by the browser, so it blocks it.
I don't think there's any way around this, because anything you could do could also be used by everyone else to get around popup blockers, and they would be useless.

Non-standard features (that are not handled by Chromium or Electron) given in features will be passed to any registered webContents's did-create-window event handler in the options argument. frameName follows the specification of target located in the native documentation. When opening about:blank, the child window's WebPreferences will be copied from the parent window, and there is no way to override it because Chromium skips browser side navigation in this case.
