Hello!

I am trying to get a popup window but instead, a full browser window is opening instead. Everything seems right, but I am hoping maybe fresh eyes can spot some problems

<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>
<script language=JavaScript>
<!-- hide script from old browsers

function openWindow()
{
var popwin = window.open(&quot;popup.html&quot;, &quot;popup&quot;, &quot;width=120, height=220, left=20, top=5, screenx=20, screeny=5&quot;);
}

function openWindow()
{
var remotewin = window.open(&quot;remote.html&quot;,&quot;remote&quot;,&quot;width=180, height=180, left=800, top=5, screenx=800, screeny=5&quot;);
}



//end hiding script from old browsers -->
</script>

</head>

<body onLoad=&quot;javascript:window.open('popup.html')&quot;>


<a name=&quot;Top&quot;></a>

<a href=&quot;javascript:eek:penWindow('remote.html')&quot;>Remote Window</a></center>

Hi,

A few things:-
1) You seem to have two functions of the same name - openWindow()
2) You're calling the open() method on loading of the page which will create a new browser window.
3) The call to openWindow in the link passes a value, yet the function is not written to receive one. (Not that this will affect the working in this case)
4) This code won't create a true popup window, it'll only create a new browser window - is that what you're after? Check out the createPopup() method of the window object for more info.

HTH,

Mark.

1. Add this to the 3rd parameter of window.open() -
location=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no

2. Remove all spaces there, so it'll be like this:
&quot;width=180,height=180,left=800,menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no&quot;

3. You shouldn't write &quot;javascrirt:&quot; in any event handler calls:
<body onLoad=&quot;openWindow('popup.html')&quot;>
But, it's needed here:
<a href=&quot;javascript:eek:penWindow('remote.html')&quot;>
