Hi I'm using a little js to open a specified sized new window on my webpage. It works fine in firefox and chrome but doesn't work in IE 8. An error code in Ie says "invalid argument". Is there a away around this or a better way to do it?

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('feeds.html', 'RSS Feed List', 'width=800, height=800')"> <img src="images/rss.jpg" width="32" height="32"/></a>

Thank you

Can't spot anything wrong with it. Is the error definitely coming from that line?

Well in IE error it points to character 1 of this line:

<td width="17%" align="right" valign="middle"><img src="images/fbbadge.jpg" width="32" height="32" /> <img src="images/twitterbadge.jpg" width="32" height="32" /> <a href="#" onclick="window.open('feeds.html', 'RSS Feed List', 'width=800, height=800')"> <img src="images/rss.jpg" width="32" height="32"/></a></td>

This isnt even the line of code the js is on.

Thank you

I have noticed that # appears in url after index.php after clicking. If i remove the # out of the

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('feeds.html', 'RSS Feed List', 'width=800, height=800')">

There is not error but it still doesnt open a new window in IE. Its strange because it all works just fine in FF and Chrome. I cant put feeds.html within the hyperlink because it will just go to that page in the current window.

The name parameter should not contain any spaces or special characters.   

window.open('feeds.html', 'rssfeed', 'width=800,height=800')

Also, this would be a better way of coding it which will allow the link to work still even if JS is disabled:

<a href="feeds.html" onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'rssfeed', 'width=800,height=800')">
