[RESOLVED] window.open and IE7?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello,

I have a weird problem with [b]window.open[/b] on IE7.

In the following code, [b]window.open[/b] fails:

[code]
var winHandle = window.open(“”, [color=red][b]”TITLE[]”[/b][/color], “resizable=yes height=100, width=100”, true);

winHandle.document.write(“<html><head></head><body>Hello world!</body></html>”);
[/code]

But when I remove the [b][][/b] from [b]TITLE[][/b], it works great. What am I missing here?

Thank you.

Illegal? as part of a string, or a title?

Is it an IE only issue?

Where can I find the list of illegal chars?

Thank you.

@TheBearMayJun 08.2009 — Second parameter for window.open in IE can only contain letters, numbers, an underscore or dash, no spaces or special characters outside of that that I've found.
