window.open IE 7

[thompom]

Hi,

I use the following to open a new window but it doesnt work in IE 7

<a href="autobase/stockview.asp?vehicleid=<%=Server.URLEncode(x_vehicleid)%>" onclick="window.open(this.href, this.target,'status=no,resizable=notoolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=0,width=638,height=640,left=180, top=50');return false;">
CLICK
</a>

Perhaps because "this.target" will be undefined?

Can you post the client-side code as rendered in the browser, not the server-side code.

thanks for your reply - this works fine in IE6 and FF.
one thing i have IE7 as standalone so could it be a bug because of the way i have it installed ? - i say this because when i click a link IE 7 pauses for a moment like its going to do something

<a href="autobase/stockview.asp?vehicleid=AETV98090933" onclick="window.open(this.href, this.target,'status=no,resizable=notoolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=0,width=638,height=640,left=180, top=50');return false;"><img src="images/tabbot1_01.gif" alt="view" border="0" /></a>

OK - So you definately have no "target" attribute, and yet you're using it for the window name. Change "this.target" to be '' and see what happens... or set a target attribute.

sorry for no reply BillyRayPreachersSon,

but tried it on a machine with IE 7 as the only browser and seemed to work fine - then Fasthosts got hacked and my site was down all last week and forgot about it.

need to do further investigation - the page in question is
