IE 6.0 SP1, javascript new window -- undefinite wait state

[Chris Lee]

I am using IE 6.0 (+SP1, Q324929, Q810847, Q813951,
Q813489, Q330994, Q818529).

Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional (SP3 + all
patches to date)

Any time I have a javascript which pops up a new window,
it opens the new window, but I can't get it to load my
contents.

Any ideas?

I've gone through the registry and made sure I don't have
any extraneous JVM's, I've uninstalled and reinstalled JRE
1.3.1_06 ... and also XML Spy 5.4 ...

My guess is that IE doesn't like MSXML4.0 (the XML
Toolkit) or MSOffice 10.0 (Office XP + Front page).

Any time I have a javascript which pops up a new window,

Try an IE Repair (better than re-registering one .dll at a time).

Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter
rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance

Note: entry point name is case sensitive

If the repair is successful a reboot will be done so before starting it
you might as well shut down everything, including temporarily disable
your security programs (so they don't interfere with the actual repair
phase which is only done during the reboot).


If that is not enough try this:

<title>281679 - You Cannot Open New Internet Explorer Window or Nothing Happens After You Click a Link</title>

Note: the only modules which are re-registered by that procedure
which are not re-registered by an IE Repair are msjava.dll and shell32.dll
Nobody has ever explained what msjava.dll has to do with a
opening a new window using Javascript.

The repair will re-register a lot of other .dlls which aren't referred to by
the article but which have been advocated by others' lists of .dlls to be
re-registered separately. However, you may find some lists which contain
other modules which aren't referenced by either of the above procedures.


Good luck
