[angel0910]

when add a javascript to an image object to open a new window, it gives me an error "Access is denied"

<script>
function openNewWin()
{
window.open ('language.htm','Language_Selector','scrollbars=no,status=no,width=200,height=100');
}
</script>

<a href=&quot;javascriptpenNewWin();&quot;>
<img src=&quot;top_files/language.gif&quot; width=&quot;48&quot; height=&quot;10&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;></a>

What I have done should be correct?

I am having a similar problem. I am running locally and have the following:

<SCRIPT language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

window.open(&quot;1010_010.htm&quot;,&quot;newWin&quot;,&quot;fullscreen&quot;
self.opener = self;

self.moveTo((&quot;1&quot,(&quot;1&quot)
self.resizeTo((&quot;400&quot,(&quot;400&quot)
void(outerWidth=400);
void(outerHeight=400);


</SCRIPT>
This is at the start of the file. It used to just run and load the .htm file as specified, but now I get the Access is Denied error...never had this before and haven't changed that piece of code. Any ideas?? THANKS!

this is a security error. some versions of IE or windows do not allow a window.open in javascript (if the file is run locally then no problem). but if a file in the server tries to access a file in the client system then it will show an &quot;Access Denied&quot; error.

Thanks for your reply. I am running locally. I can do the window.open on the same laptop when the .htm file that does it is in a different directory. I created another file folder to contain all .htm code I'm working with on this project and now the autostart won't work. The .htm file that contains the javascript in question runs, gives the security error, but the rest of the page displays.

Is there separate security on different directories? If so, how to change? I'm running IE 6 with Windows 2000 Professional.

Any help GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

the problem is that it CANNOTBE OVERCOME. as i said before it is a security issue and is dependent on the OS...
