I have a default.htm page where I open a new page via Window.open("link.asp") in a javascript-section.
this works fine on most systems !
But now I have 1 development-machine with IE5.0 where this fails to open the new window. A window.alert("test") works fine.
Is this a bug in IE5.0 or is it a setting in IE ??

please help !

vic,

I've tried also :

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Default</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
Attributes=&quot;fullscreen=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=yes,height=&quot; + cstr(screen.height-55) + &quot;,width=&quot; + cstr(screen.width-10) + &quot;,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no, left=0, top=0&quot;
</script>

<script language=&quot;JScript&quot;>
window.open(&quot;link.asp&quot;,null,Attributes);
location.href=&quot;javascript:history.back(1)&quot;;
</script>

</HTML>

Vic,

I've had a big number of test-machines where it worked fine. Loaded with IE4.01,IE5.0 or IE5.5. With all the other IE5.0 it worked fine, but on this one machine it didn't.

We uninstalled IE5.0 on this machine, and reinstalled IE but this time version 5.5. And everything workd fine right from that point.
BUT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT FAILED TO OPEN THE NEW WINDOW. I really want to now if it's a setting or a bug ( or maybe a wrong installation,.. ) because some customers can have the same problem.
