I've been trying to open a new window and move it toward the center. It will not move and I get an error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function newwin() {
childWin=window.open(&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;width=400,height=300,resizable=1&quot;);[/URL]
childWin.moveTo(100,100);
}
</script>
</head>
<body><font size=&quot;4&quot;>
<a href=&quot;javascript:newwin()&quot;>Google</a>
</body>
</html>

No, that wasn't it. Now it won't open the window at all and I still get an error. But thanks.

Code: 
<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function newwin() {
childWin=window.open(&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;width=400,height=300,resizable=1,top=100,left=100&quot;);[/URL]
}
</script>
That opens the new window right at the correct position.

Thanks. It works fine. I just couldn't figure out why the moveTo() method will only work with relative URL

For security reasons... Many functions are disabled if the URL is not relative.

What if you used frames to steal passwords? Things like that are prevented by the security methods used.
