browser compatibility

i have the following code inside my JSP:

<script language=”Javascript”>
openPopup(‘../setup/prepareReport.do?actionKey=fromLink&objType=<%=objType %>&rfId=<%=rfId %>&fileName=<%=fileName %>&process=PRINT’,'<%=rfName%>’,’scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=350′);
</script>

the above code will call this method:
function openPopup(theURL,winName,features) {
features = features+”, resizable = yes”;
popupWindow = window.open(theURL,winName,features);
popupWindow.document.title=winName;
}

what i’m trying to do is to set the browser title of the popup screen. it was working fine with mozilla firefox 1.0, but when i try to open the popup using IE 6.0, it gives me an “Invalid argument” error. The error seems to come from >> popupWindow.document.title=winName;

izzit due to browser compatibality problem? coz when i open the popup using mozilla firefox 5.0 on linux system, it is even showing the correct title on the popup.

could anybody give me a hint on how to solve this?
thx in advance !!

@vassilisaauthorJan 07.2005 — it was working fine all along, until i added the line popupWindow.document.title=winName; into the openPopup function.

thx for taking ur time to look at my problem.

@CharlesJan 07.2005 — You are getting an "Invalid argument" error. The only line with an argument is [font=monospace]popupWindow = window.open(theURL,winName,features);[/font]. That line contains an invalid argument. Perhaps you inadvertantly changed line [font=monospace]features = features+", resizable = yes";[/font] when you added the line you suspect.

Posting the URL would help.

@vassilisaauthorJan 18.2005 — thx for the reply.

I've found that the error is actually due to white space inside the parameter that i've passed into as the window name, eg:

var winName="ABC Report";

popupWindow = window.open(theURL,winName,features);

popupWindow.document.title=winName;

the winName shd not contain any white space, tt's y it's been causing problem.
