Open Window Params don't work

[dinosf]

On my site I have a slide out menu of choices that open new windows for the user to view info.

The windows open fine but I would like to set a pre-determined size in pxls. I have tried variations on the code I use in other places that opens windows at a pre-set size, I think I'm just missing a small technical detail.

The code line that opens the window is in an external file with the options listed numerically (e.g. ssmitems[10]) I added in the space after the url so it would show - it's not in the code-

ssmitems1[10]=["Contact Us", "

http://www.oursite.com/mischelpinfo/contactuspage.htm

", "_new"]

I've tried using variations of the following (mostly with variations in the quotes) to set the size - just standard window parameters - inside the brackets and with double quotes and within the same quotes as _new

'location=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=300'

Something like this for example -

.../mischelpinfo/contactuspage.htm ", "_new,location=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=300"]

I haven't been able to figure out what I'm messing up.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

not sure what you're attempting here
ssmitems1[10]="Contact Us", "

http://www.oursite.com/mischelpinfo/contactuspage.htm

", "_new"

or here
.../mischelpinfo/contactuspage.htm ", "_new,location=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=300"]

you might want to read the faqs on opening new windows first...

Thanks for the suggestion, actually I already did that and have used similar code successfully. Though I think I just figured out the problem.

Try this:

ssmitems1[10]= window.open('

http://www.oursite.com/mischelpinfo/contactuspage.htm',

'', 'width=450, height=300')
