Problems with Javascript and IE

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 26.2004

I am having problem opening a new window via javascript in IE. Here is my code:

function GetPage()
{
window.open (‘../NewPage.htm’, ‘Name of Page’, config=’height=500, width=375, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=no,location=no, directories=no, status=no’)
}

I need NewPage to be located in the parent directory of the HTML page that i am making the call from, since i am using CGI and i can’t have the webpage be in the cgi-bin.

Anyone have any idea if this can be done with Internet Explorer?

BTW, Netscape opens it without any problems.

Thanks, in advance

function GetPage() {
window.open('../NewPage.htm', 'NameOfPage', 'height=500,width=375,scrollbars');
}

Hope this helps,

Dan

BillyRay's suggestion will work. It is the spaces in the second argument, IE is complaining about.

I wasn't sure if it was that or not - but thanks for confirming it. I just tidied up the line (to my own standards ?), and removed all the redundant flags from the arguments parameter.

@steelersfan88Jul 26.2004 — ... and it seems you just have a fake second argument anyway. You can change that to "_blank" if you want it to open in a new window by default, instead of "" (if you are planning not to name your window).

Surprisingly, even the "config='...'" stuff wouldn't disturb.I just tidied up the line (to my own standards ), and removed all the redundant flags from the arguments parameter.[/QUOTE]:p - well done - I had done so as well, but when previewing my reply, I saw steelersfan88's post and yours.

@AbstractRealityauthorJul 26.2004 — Thanks for all the input guys,

I still cant belive that was the problem.

Just to confirm, the problem was the spaces in the name of the new page. Everything else was valid syntax that IE recognized.

Thanks again.

Success!
