    Creating a window

    I am using the following javacript function (in the HEAD section of the
    HTML file) to open a window in response to user action on the page:

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
    var PictureWindow;
    var s;
    function displayImage(Im ageName, titleText )
    {
    PictureWindow = window.open()
    s = "<HTML>\n";
    s += " <HEAD>\n";
    s += " <TITLE> </TITLE>\n";
    s += " </HEAD>\n";
    s += " <BODY>\n";
    s += " <CENTER>\n";
    s += " <IMG SRC=\""+ImageNa me+"\" ALT=\"\" BORDER=0>\n";
    s += " <BR><BR>\n";
    s += " <h4>\n";
    s += titleText;
    s += " </h4>\n";
    s += " <BR>\n";
    s += " <A HREF='javascrip t:close()'>Clos e</A>"
    s += " </BODY>\n";
    s += "</HTML>\n";
    PictureWindow.d ocument.write(s );
    }
    </SCRIPT>

    The function works with no trouble in IE. In Netscape, it works, sort of.
    It will create and open the window but will not complete the open process
    (hour glass keeps on).

    Why does this work ok in IE but not Netscape?

    Thanks

      Hi.

      You need to close the document that you are writing for the hour glass to
      disappear, I'm no expert here just in the very early stages of learning js
      and passed that part of the book just a few weeks ago. Try

      PictureWindow.d ocument.close() this will close the output stream.

      Have fun
