Windows not displaying correctly in IE

I have the following code in one of my web pages, which has been posted and (I believe) working for a couple of years.

function win1()
{
window.open("name_of_page.html","","height=700,width=350,left=10,top=10");
}

I look at the page fairly regularly to check its consistency but today I was horrified when the window opened in IE but the text only displayed for a fraction of a second. Several links on this page use the code but not all of them show the same characteristic.
Firefox and Opera still display correctly.
I try to keep my browsers updated.
I originally programmed using a Win98 computer but today my Win98 and XP machines give the same problem.

This site is at and Geocities have recently modified their own pop-up presentations. Could this be the cause or is this something new with IE?

Do I need to change this script or perhaps flag the user with a particular setting?

Ideas?
 
It looks like a Geocities ad problem and IE is just wierd enough to barf on the whole thing. Try adding ?20052 at the end of each link, it seems to work for Geocities to turn off their stupid frames:
Code:
function win1()
{
window.open("name_of_page.html?20052","","height=700,width=350,left=10,top=10");
}
