Hi, this is the code for an ASP.NET page (aspx extension) but I have also tried to change the extension to .htm and I get the same browser error (Error - Page cannot be displayed) The file exists and has the right permissions. Am I missing something syntactical or what?


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>map</title>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function openwindow(){window.open(&quot; &quot;my_new_window&quot;, &quot;toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=yes,width=400,height=400&quot;)
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<body onload=&quot;openwindow()&quot;>
<form runat=&quot;server&quot;>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>

The worst thing is, this works when I open it with IE manually, but not when I response.redirect to it from my ASP.NET application... Chris says: &quot;It's time for a beer.&quot;

When I clicked the link, it gave me the page cannot be displayed problem. But, the semicolon does need to go.

Like I said, the tek-tips editor must have a bug, it places that semicolon there after I submit it. It wasn't there when I typed it: i.e.:

&quot;
In the editor the semicolon that you see on the end of the line above does not appear. This is quite a flaw in the Tek-Tips editor I think. Chris says: &quot;It's time for a beer.&quot;

Why use the editor??? Use textpad It's great. It does only what you tell it to do!

but you still have to cut & paste your post into the text box before clicking &quot;Submit Post&quot; right?

when you do that, the semicolon will be placed there. Try it! Chris says: &quot;It's time for a beer.&quot;

I agree Chris - I've had it happen to me too...the semicolon thing.

It looks like your file is on an intranet? your url reads &quot;dataserver&quot;, not &quot; or something...for this reason we won't be able to test the link.

Just to test with no URL at all in the window.open() command, it works fine here on IE 5.5.
======================================

if (!succeed) try();

I sent an email to the tek-tips support guys about this - seems important enough to fix..

Yes I am on an intranet, but I never intended for people to click the link anyway, I was just asking a javascript syntax question..

Oh. I misunderstood. I thought you meant that tek-tips had an editor that you were using. I didn't realize that you meant this box I'm typing in.

Try dropping the http:// from window.open() function. I've had problems in the past where if you used you either had to specify file:/// (or something like that) or a web URL.
