New window opening maximized when opening window maximized

I am using window.open to open a popup window 200 by 300 and it works great when the original window is not maximized. But as soon as it is, it ignores the height and width parameters and maximizes the popup window.
The resizable parameter is set to no.

- Which browser(s)?

- Which OS(es)?

- Do you see any errors?

- Do you have any 3rd party browser tools installed that may be interfering (poopup blockers, Google/Yahoo!/etc toolbars, etc)?

- Can you post your code?

Here is my code. Pretty straight forward.

vWinCal = window.open("", "Calendar", "width=300,height=275,status=no,resizable=no,top=200,left=200");

I am testing with IE 6.0 on XP Pro and there are no errors.

Maybe with some errors I may have been able to figure it out myself.

With no 3rd party add-ons at all, my IE 6 on XP Pro works fine with this code, maximized or otherwise:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		function openWin() {
			vWinCal = window.open('', 'Calendar', 'width=300,height=275,status=no,resizable=no,top=200,left=200');
		}
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<a href="javascript:openWin();">Open the window</a>
</body>
</html>

Save that locally, run it up, and see if it works for you.

if it does, that could point to something in your code...

Hope this helps,
Dan

Dan, it appears the problem is with my browser settings. I had a coworker try it on their machine and it opened properly. I then tried my application on a different pc and it also worked properly.
So there really was no problem, but I can't find the setting in IE causing this.

Thanks again,

Denis

Which leads me back to my earlier question:

- Do you have any 3rd party browser tools installed that may be interfering (popup blockers, Google/Yahoo!/etc toolbars, etc)?
