Hello
I am having a problem with a call from a dhtml menu that uses a off page script. The menu is called hiermenu. The off page js file works fine with:
"javascript:window.open('this code
however, I can not seem to create the same result with height and width statements
"javascript:window.open(' width=400')"
can anyone tell me why this might be?
thanks to all

You're missing one parameter...

Code: 
<html>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

 function OpenSite(sURL){ 
  var winOpen = window.open(sURL,null,&quot;height=330,width=400&quot;);
 }

</script>

<body>
Method 1:
<input type=button value=&quot;Open Catering Site&quot; onClick=&quot;OpenSite('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.gourmetcafecatering.com/services/weddingmenu1.htm');&quot;><br>[/URL]
Method 2:
<a href=&quot;javascript:window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.gourmetcafecatering.com/services/weddingmenu1.htm',null,'height=330,width=400');&quot;>Open[/URL] Catering Site</a>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for the response Rob, I am having this problem because I can not call the window.open from the browser page. I am using a menu driven by html/javascript and has an external call to load the menu into the index page. The call to open a browser window is from the external js file. I can send you the js files (they are from dhtml labs Hierarchial Menus) I have tried contact to no avail so it is onto the forums.
This is an array that is from the external js file:
HM_Array2_3_3 = [
[],
[&quot;Jennifer & Jason&quot;,&quot;javascript:window.open('],
[&quot;Mitch & Paula&quot;,&quot;javascript:window.open('],
[&quot;Victoria & Richard&quot;,&quot;javascript:window.open(']
]
when i use these window.open syntax there is no problem with the window opening, however it does so in full screen. I wish to have the window open in 400X600 with scrollbars
Do you have any ideas?
thanks
derek

I am stumped guys. I have used the syntax
HM_Array2_3_3 = [
[],
[&quot;Jennifer & Jason&quot;,&quot;javascript:window.open('],
[&quot;Mitch & Paula&quot;,&quot;javascript:window.open('],
[&quot;Victoria & Richard&quot;,&quot;javascript:window.open(']
]
and all i get is the disappearance of the menu system.
I am really stumped. I have all the source code for the menu system and can send a working copy of it.
Probably the best way because then you could see how it has
been coded.
thanks for all the time and effort Rob and Vituz
