New Window not opening in IE

[bill1one]

I have been trying everything to make the following code work in IE. It works fine in Firefox. Any suggestions?

This is in the head tags:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function newwindow(url) {
 window.open(url,'details', 'width=750,height=700,scrollbars=yes');
}
</script>

This is in the body:

<a href="javascript:newwindow('image.php?image=215');"><img src='thumbs/215' border='0' width='100' /></a>

Maybe you have blocked pop-up windows in IE? The code looks ok, at a glance.

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

I made sure that pop-ups weren't blocked. I did look at the error message generated by IEv6 and it says "Invalid Argument" for the line

window.open(url,'details', 'width=750,height=700,scrollbars=yes');

I don't understand...I really don't see anything wrong with it. Any help is appreciated.

Make sure [tt]'details'[/tt] is literally what you have scripted. That part may not contain whitespace. Your actual argument cannot be something such as [tt]'details[highlight] [/highlight]with[highlight] [/highlight]spaces'[/tt].
