I am trying to launch an informative chromeless popup using javascript and it works fine on my development PC (win2k) using dreamweaver MX (IIS is not installed). However once I upload the files to the apache server and got to the site nothing happens when I click the link. Since javascript is run on the client side why does it not work once I upload the files to the server? Any help would be greatly apreciated. The script codeis located tin the <head> section like it is supposed to and the link is embedded in a text file that Flash reads upon entering the site. It works fine on the server if the link doesn't use javascript to open the window. also is there a log or way of logging this to narrow down what is causing me this grief.

I think the slash is sdrawkcab:
should be
Windows is whorish and doesn't much care, but Unix is much stricter.
Then again, I might be wrong.
Good luck!

Actually the coding is correct and unix systems typically use the "/" and not "\". I tracked it down to when cloaking is enabled by my DNS redirection the frames are getting in the way. If anyone knows a workaround for this let me know as I would like to hide the actual ports open on my web server.
