Internet Explorer DIE! Popup Window!

[DanielWhite]

Internet Explorer, the browser that messes up my layouts!!!! Now won't let me have any popup windows.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// basic popup code embelished by code by PPK at http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/

var newwindow;
function poptastic(url)
{
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=400,width=300');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}
// -->
</script>

<a href="javascript:poptastic('/examples/poppedexample.html');">» Pop it</a>

 

The code above works fine in FireFox but not in IE, does anyone know why? It's driving me crazy!

 

Thank you,

Daniel White.

Try changing this:

 

<a href="javascript:poptastic('/examples/poppedexample.html');">» Pop it</a>

 

to this:

 

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:poptastic('/examples/poppedexample.html');">» Pop it</a>

OK I checked my original coding on another computer (IE7) and it works fine!

 

The problem I am guessing is with Internet Explorer 8 it's obviously handling coding very differently. My site won't even load with it!

IE8 is still beta. In the future, if you are having problems with beta versions, please mention this.
