Opening Windows

I am using a javascript open window function to open windows on a cd. So far the first page loads up, opens a new fixed width window and shuts itself down. This new window has a link to another javascipt open window function which opens another window and shuts itself down. The new page has all the information but at the bottom it has a link to a website.

The website is set to open in a different window but it does not work.

Is there a limit to how many windows you can open?

Thanks in advance
 
No, there is no theoretical limit, but you must ensure that each window has a different name attribute:

window.open("file.extension","thismustbedifferent") jared@eae.net -
 
hehe... Yes, there's a limit on how many windows you can open using JavaScript. However, it's nowhere near 3. Last I tested, somewhere around fifty times 3 on Win 2k, IE 6.0 ;-)
 
I have tried other variations but it appears that you can't open a new fixed width window through javascript when you want to open an external website.

Is there any ways around this. I have tried to just put the link in with a target of blank. This window inherits the same size as the windows before, which are too small.
