JavaScript Error: OrderWin is not a function

[JimJx]

I am using this script to open a new window with a URL in it:

<Script Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function OrderWin(url) {
winStats='toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,'
winStats+='scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,'
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(&quot;Microsoft&quot>=0) {
winStats+=',left=0,top=0'
}else{
winStats+=',screenX=0,screenY=0'
}
OrderWin=window.open(url,&quot;&quot;,winStats)
OrderWin.focus()
}
</script>

The button that calls it uses this:

<FORM Name=&quot;OpenWin&quot;>
<Input Type=&quot;button&quot; Value=&quot;Order&quot; onClick=&quot;javascript:OrderWin('

http://www.whatever.com')&quot;>

</FORM>

There are multiple buttons on the page that do the same thing, except with different URLs. The first time a button is clicked, everything works perfectly. Any time after that I get an error in IE or NS.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong with this or what I need to do to prevent the error message?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi JimJx!
To say truth, I don't know exactly the reason of an error (I got it also) - had no time to play with it.
But when I changed <Input Type=&quot;button&quot;> to &quot;submit&quot; everything works - clicked dozens of times in IE, Opera, NN4.x and N6

Do you think it is perhaps that after the first time you run the function, you are actually redefiining the OrderWin function with this part:

OrderWin=window.open(url,&quot;&quot;,winStats)
OrderWin.focus()


If you try it with different variable names, does it work?Thos is about all I can see at this momment. Bj

Thank you to everyone who replied here and by email.

I changed it to submit as suggested and it works great. Don't have a clue why it doesn't work with button in there instead. Have said it before and will say it again, computers are strange.......

I did try it with different a couple different variable names, OrdWin, NewOrd, and a couple others, same issue.

No matter what the var name is, after changing to submit, they all worked.

Once again, Thanks!
