open new browser window with javascript

[DeAnn]

I have a very stange problem but can't figure out what the cause is. I am working with a javascript to open a popup window. The script works, I have used it many many times so I know it's not a script error. But, now it works in a stange way. When I am previewing my website (not uploaded) and click the link I don't get a popup window, I wait and wait but no popup. However, if I am at my friends site and have one his popup windows open and then preview my site and click the link for my popup window, my page opens in his popup, with his attributes! I am running IE 5. I downloaded IE5.5 thinking that would maybe solve the problem but it didn't. I have no problems on any site I visit, popups on other sites work just fine. It seems to be something on my system that is causing IE to not open another window.

Any ideas?

This is something i have noticed about the browsers that may be causing your problem. Sometimes, I have no idea why, viewing the html document on the local drive does not load the code correctely ?????? Try uploading the html file with the javascript code for the popup to the internet and then try it at your home. If not try changing some of the security settings in your browser to a lower setting. Sometimes security settings can be misconfigured to block certain javascript functions... Im really not sure though.... good luck
