does this javascript work for you guys? (in IE)

[mjquilly]

it works for me in Opera, but not in IE. when you click on the pictures, it should pop open a new window, but IE reports errors to me. I don't really know JavaScript, I'm trying to hack this together from code snippets i've seen...

1st page of thumbnails are not linked, the following pages do popup a new IE window when clicked.

yeah, this is a test page so the pages after the first will work, but the first page does work in opera, not sure why IE can't get it

If you look at the documentation for window.open for IE, it says that 2nd parameter has to be one of several special values. You can't just put in whatever string you want. Take a look at this page for valid values:

Documenation for window.open()

The documentation you referenced doesn't specify that the second parameter must be one of those special values. It's quite common to call window.open() with a window name for the second parameter that you can reference later.

I suspect that the issue is the use of the '.' character in your window name. Instead of

onClick="MM_openBrWindow('2003_0514_073439AA.JPG','2003_0514_073439AA.JPG','width=820,height=620')"

try

onClick="MM_openBrWindow('2003_0514_073439AA.JPG','2003_0514_073439AA_JPG','width=820,height=620')"

That's true enough. I tested a fix to the code by changing the second parameter to one of the values documented in the link I posted. I suspect that MrChad is correct that other values will also work, and that it may be something like the period in the name you're trying. I didn't check this.

Mr Chad and oog appears to be correct. It doesn't seem to like the period in the 2nd parameter.
