Dear Clair: Sorry for not replying earlier. Usually, when experiencing cross-browser compatibility issues, the first step is to validate html http://validator.w3.org/ Adding the following line should fix this problem on Windows IE (even if you comment out window.focus line). <!DOCTYPE html > But it will not fix problem on Win FFox.
There is an interesting and illustrative discussion here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.open#Avoid_resorting_to_window.open() In spite of that, I used extensively windows.open() in few PHP apps. I had these issues, and it took extensive testing and troubleshooting to make things working across different browsers. But, I wouldn’t be too surprised if issues reoccur with new browser versions. Here is piece of code that behaves well across browsers (G. Map application). case 'consumption' : //document.write (aParams + "<br />"); //alert (s); var w = window.open ( // MAP_DISPLAY_DIR+"consumption_popup.php?d=" + aParams[1], "?page=consumption_popup&d=" + aParams[1], "Consumption", // "width=980,height=577,resizable=1,scrollbars=no,status=no,menubar=no"); "width=630,height=557,resizable=1,scrollbars=no,status=no,menubar=no"); //w.document.write (aParams + "<br />"); break; Hope that this gives you some clues.
