Hi,

I’m trying to create a popup window for my site. The window will contain a flash mp3 player & the popup will be activated when the user clicks a button.

It works in every browser known to man apart from internet explorer. Any ideas why this might be??

heres my code

[code]

var newwindow;
function mp3popup(url)
{
newwindow=window.open(url,’mp3player.html’,’height=370,width=300′);
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}

[/code]

Cheers

Tim

any ideas why in netscape it opens a new tab the same size as the browser window rather than the size specified in the script?

Cheers

@hoangkcSep 16.2007 — oNewWindow = window.open( [sURL] [, sName] [, sFeatures] [, bReplace])

where sName is string that specifies the name of the window. This name is used as the value for the TARGET attribute on a form or an a element.

It can be _blank, _media(IE6 or later), _parent, _search(IE5 or later), _self and _top (they are former)

Or any string you type without point ([COLOR="Red"][B].[/B][/COLOR]) character in that string (not former)
