(window.screen) and xp permissions????

[Tracey]

Hi

I have a strange problem with some javascript which runs when my users open a popup report. This only happens sometimes, and only on XP/IE6 - so far. (I am also posting this in XP forum M$)

The new window pops open, the code that runs is

if (window.screen) self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

I have two users now who have had a Runtime Error Alert box, and when the debug button is clicked this line is pointed out as the problem. The error is "Access is Denied"

Has anyone here got any idea about this?

OK what happends from what i understand is that when you run a script it pops up an error reading Access denied...Well My question for you is if you click the check box in the error message that says always show errors...will the script/page still work...If this is still confusing could you please post a test page that i could look at or all of your code
Thanks

ok. Yes the page still works. the alert that comes up has a debug or not debug button, if you choose no, the report runs anyway, and resizes. This is not the usual &quot;Show script error&quot; message. I have that set for development and i do not get any errors.

I'm surprised

Ziff Davis Media Inc. doesn't have in house experts to troubleshoot such problems.
