code renders in Firefox and Safari, but not IE

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

For some reason the following code renders just fine in Firefox and Safari, but some of my IE users have told me that when they click the link that leads to this page, they get an error message. To see for yourself, the url is here:

[url]http://www.mythopoedia.com/sl_navigator_pane.html[/url]

Once there, click chapter one.

The code is here:

<html>
<head>

<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”slbookpage.css”>

<title>
Silverlance
</title>

</head>
<body>
<div class=”titlepage”>
<div class=”maintitlelink”><a href=”sl_1_1.html”><img src=”button_enter” border=”0″ alt=”enter”/></a>
</div>
</div>

</body>

</html>

@FangFeb 05.2009 — The windowname must be limited to alphanumeric and underscore characters.

The 3 functions can easily be combined into one.

@ptcauthorFeb 05.2009 — Hi Fang,

This is the code for the java script I'm using:

function popup(mylink, windowname)

{

if (! window.focus)return true;

var href;

if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')

href=mylink;

else

href=mylink.href;

window.open(href, windowname, 'width=552,height=760,scrollbars=yes');

return false;

}


And this is the window it calls:

<li><a href="sl/title_page_1.html" onclick="return popup(this, 'sl_book_1/title_page_1.html')"><button><font color="darkblue">chapter 1</font></button></a></li>

The window names are all alphanumeric underscored. Can you see anything else that should be corrected?

Thanks for your response!

@FangFeb 05.2009 — and the slash, the period???

@ptcauthorFeb 05.2009 — Ah, I see. Thank you.

So the link and the window name in the function need to match the link and window name in the code which the function calls, right?

Is this correct:

function popup(sl/title_page_1.html, sl_book_1_title_page_1)

{

if (! window.focus)return true;

var href;

if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')

href=mylink;

else

href=mylink.href;

window.open(href, windowname, 'width=552,height=760,scrollbars=yes');

return false;

}


And this is the window it calls:

<li><a href="sl/title_page_1.html" onclick="return popup(this, 'sl_book_1_title_page_1')"><button><font color="darkblue">chapter 1</font></button></a></li>

No, the window name can be an valid string.

Read the link I gave in an earlier post.
