Problem with window.open

[shweta]

Hello!

I am having a very wierd problem with window.open all of a sudden.

Consider this code snippet below to simulate my problem.

Dim oNewWin

Set oNewWin=window.open("test12.htm&quot
msgbox(oNewWin.screenTop)

The window is opened fine but then the msgbox statement spits out a script error "Object required: oNewWin".

This is happening to me in every single page which opens a new window from script. Basically, there is a script error if I try to access the new window using the name.

I am using Windows 2000 and an IE 5 browser. (The same problem is not happening on any other mchine with the same configuration, just my machine)

Any help/suggestions??

Thanks,
shweta

works fine here... WinNT 4.0, IE 5.5

btw, this is the js forum, not vbs ;-) =========================================================
if (!succeed) try();

Right! Sorry about that... here's the JS code for the same.

function winclose(str){
var oNewWin;
oNewWin=window.open("test12.htm", "myname"
alert(oNewWin.name);
oNewWin.focus()
}

And as for working on the NT and IE 5.5, as I mentioned before it works on every machine other than mine. Even a machine with the same config as mine

Another point to note is that this script works on Netscape with no errors.

Thanks!

probably a bad browser install on that machine.
