New Window Problems

[bigbird3156]

Hi, I have set up a href link to open up a stripped back window with disclaimer info in it. It works, however when it opens up the original page (with the actual link) changes and displays the text

[Object]

here is the href:
<a href="javascript:window.open('disclaimer.htm','newwindowzoom','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=410,height=400,left=100,top=100')">click
here</a>

Any ideas about what is going wrong??

To make this the cleanest, don't put the window.open statement in a href. You can put it on an onclick handler on the anchor tag, example:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('disclaimer.htm','newwindowzoom','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=410,height=400,left=100,top=100')">click 
  here</a>

To add to monksnake's statement, make sure you return false at the end of the onclick handler - otherwise your screen will jump to the top of the page and the url will show with a # at the end:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open(....)[!];return false[/!]">click here</a>
