window.open redirecting the parent.

[travisbrown]

When i try and open a popup using the code below, it redirects the opener page in IE and FF so i get [Object] or [object Window]. Basically, it sends the parent page to the href value.

I can't throw this in a function because I have to pass it into a Flash file that I wasn't the author of. Means I can't use onclick either.

Any hints?

<a href="javascript:window.open('pop_tour.html','tour','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=yes,width=500,height=425,left=550, top=100,screenX=200,screenY=250');">Link</a>

do this instead:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open(...); return false;">

naturally, replace ... with your actual code.

Yeah, I thought of that. I have to pass the js string into flash and can't use onclick. I didn't write the js file, so I cna't think of another way.

Sorry about the long line stretching the page. I thought it would wrap.
