Question

Hi I’m working on a project there I found line like this :

window.open("url/example",false);

but I read on w3schools.com that window.open accepts four parameters:

http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp

they listed second parameter as name and it accepts following values:

name    Optional. Specifies the target attribute or the name of the window. 

The following values are supported:

        _blank - URL is loaded into a new window. This is default
        _parent - URL is loaded into the parent frame
        _self - URL replaces the current page
        _top - URL replaces any framesets that may be loaded
        name - The name of the window

I’m just wondering what false representing in my code
thanks in advance… Sorry if not good question. JS newbie .

Answer 1

false will be typecast to a string, which will be "false".
