Hi,

For as long as I can remember, I've had problems with this function....and I can't for the life of me figure out why...I haven't used Javascript for close to a year, so my memory probably isn't helping me much, either...

Can someone please check out and tell me what's wrong? The window.open line is currently line 67, but that might change from time to time, as the entire site's under construction.

Thanks!

Rick

Notice when you click the link above the page works.

Yes, that's the line, and yes, the page works, but it's the automatic opening of that page when the site loads at JavaScript's still supposed to be commented out, right? And even when I moved the actual window.open() function to a new line that didn't have the commenting, it never popped up the page. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rick

I don't how you're trying to open the window

are you trying to open it Onload, OnClick, On_etc...

And if any way possible (I'm sure it is) to not put it in <body onload=&quot;...&quot;>, I need to do that. And document.onLoad or whatever that was wasn't fully supported, far as I can remember...

Putting:

Code: 
<script type=&quot;text/JavaScript&quot;><!-- window.open(...

Doesn't comment out the window.open command.

Using:

Code: 
<script type=&quot;text/JavaScript&quot;><!-- //window.open(...

Will comment it out.

Sorry - I thought you wanted to have the window.open code commented out? Or was the problem not that the window was opening when you didn't want it to?

Oh. It seems I was clearly talking rubbish in my previous post ;o)

Either remove the
Code: 
<!-- ... -->
tags from your script statement, or split your script tag up into lines:

Code: 
<script type=&quot;text/JavaScript&quot; language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.arabchurch.com/NEW/set_language.php','','width=300,height=200');[/URL]
//-->
</script>

It seems that IE ignores JS inside script tags with HTML comments if they are on one line... So maybe a bug in IE?

Hope this helps,

Dan
