Missing scrollbars on popup window 1

[tcstom]

Hi,

I'm opening a popup window with the following code attached to a button click:

var poster = window.open('about:blank', 'poster', 'toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=no,status=yes,
directories=no,location=no,width=700,height=500');

This works fine for me, but on other computers the scrollbars are missing. Any idea why this might be? All computers are Win XP PCs and the affected browser is IE but I haven't checked if other browsers are OK...

Any ideas?

When you say missing... do you mean the grey scrollbar area isn't there, or do you mean the grey scrollbar area is there, but has no scrollbar on it?

If the latter, I wouldn't expect to see one, as you're opening an empty page.

Sorry, should have clarified. Initially the href is about:blank but this is changed later in the Javascript to load a page that takes up more than the available space thus requiring a vertical scrollbar, but there is no scrollbar present (as though I had the scrollbars property set to 'no' rather than 'yes'. As I say though, this issue seens to be specific to certain users/PCs since it works fine on most of our PCs so I'm really asking if there's a Windows setting which might be preventing Javascript popups showing their scrollbars? Or something.

Perhaps they have some 3rd-party addones (Google toolbar, etc etc) installed, or are running a slightly different version of IE / Windows (i.e. SP2, etc)?

Sorry, no haven't had a chance yet. User does have Google toolbar so have asked them to remove it but haven't chased them up. Will let you know...
