window.open not working in i.e 6

[groeny]

Hi all,

I am trying to build a pop-up into a Web page. The pop-up should open when
clicking a button. It works fine on Mozilla, but Internet Explorer
refuses to open the pop-up. How can I make it work?
The code is:
<input type="button" value="Help"onC lick="window.op en('mda.php','H elpMe','width=2 00,height=200,l eft=200,top=200 ,resizable')"/>

I have change it many ways - e.g. tried opening a htm, html file instead of php. It still works on Mozilla and not I.e

put a space in before onClick
spell onClick onclick

Thanks for looking at it. I'm afraid it didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas?

I get the same when using a <href> that calls a javascript function? The function gets called but doesn't open the popup?

as per below

<a href="#" onClick="newWin dow(1);">Contac t Us</a><br>

<SCRIPT language="Javas cript">
// declare a new JavaScript variable
var popWindow;
// declare a new function, newWindow
function newWindow(winID ) {

// declare variable winURL, setting it to the name of the PHP file
// and accompanying data.
var winURL = "mda.php?winID= " + winID;
// If the popup window does not exist, or it is currently closed,
// open it.
if (!popWindow || popWindow.close d) {




popWindow = window.open(win URL,'popWindow' ,'dependent,wid th=200,height=2 00,left=150,top =100');
}
// If the popup window is already open, make it active and update
// its location to winURL.
else {
popWindow.focus ();
popWindow.locat ion = winURL;
}
}
</SCRIPT>

the code you pasted actually worked fine for me you got a popup blocker doing something?

No first thing I checked - I did have to re install IE a while ago - I wonder wether that had anything to do with it.

Possibly it worked fine with IE 6

This is due to enhanced security in IE6 onwards. The local file isnt within application's scope and hence wont open.

I am still trying to figure it out. Any solutions????
