IE6 pop up problems under Windows XP

[mark]

Hi everyone,

I run a small website that uses javascript window.open pop ups. Now
these pop ups are not annoying advertising, but relevant to queries
the user might be making.

The problem I have encountered under WindowsXP and IE6.0 is that
*some* calls to window.open from the javascript don't initiate
processing for the new window, it's as if the code does not exist. Yet
other users running IE5.5 on Windows 98 can interact just fine on the
same page.

I have checked the browser settings in Tools --> Internet Options -->
Security --> Custom Level and made sure that the Scripting options are
enabled and yet the WinXP IE6.0 combination still has problems.

I have gotten these same users to re-register the following dll's
using regsvr32
Shdocvw.dll
Shell32.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Mshtml.dll
Urlmon.dll

All the dll's were successfully registered and the machines were
re-booted and the problem still persists.

Is there any way of uninstalling IE6.0 and installing IE5.5 or can I
do something else to enable javascript window.open

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide.

Hi Mark,

You would have to do some more checking and compare the script you are using
via wsabstract, javascriptcity, javascript, etc and choose one that is
compatible with IE (all versions) and most are. Some don't agree with the
other browsers but when it comes to IE, it is pretty straight across the
board other than 'really' older versions.

BTW, post a sample here of the script you are using and good luck! Some
just take simple modifications to work.
