I'm trying to open a sized browser window from a button. The window opens just fine in IE 7 exactly the size I defined. However, in other versions of IE, the sized popup window opens and another full sized window opens as well, which you then have to close. This looks ugly and is driving me crazy. Can any one explain why this happens in older versions of IE and how to get around it. Thank Youl

add ;return false to your onclick event call

eg

href="whatever" onclick="popupwindow() ;return false"

Ok my good fellow, I'm only getting one popup in IE 6 ( ) and IE 7, both look the same size. However, its not the size I need . It looks like a default size assigned by browser. I need the window to be 417 x 620. Here's my code after making the change you suggested:

<td height="19"><a href="gallery.html" target="_blank" onclick=onclick="popupwindow('gallery.html','Galle ry','width=417,height=620') ;return false"
"MM_nbGroup('down','group1','gallery','../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw_f2.gif',1)" onmouseover="MM_nbGroup('over','gallery','../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw_f2.gif','../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw_f2.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_nbGroup('out')"><img src="../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw.gif" alt="Gallery" name="gallery" width="240" height="17" border="0" id="gallery"/></a></td>


I know its something simple. Could you please help me out.
Thank You A Ton!

I've actually got an extra "onclick" in there, which i took out. j
so how do I get the window to open up a certain size?
Thanks

Figured it out:

<td height="19"><a href="gallery.html" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery.html','gallery', 'width=417,height=620');return false"
"MM_nbGroup('down','group1','gallery','../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw_f2.gif',1)" onmouseover="MM_nbGroup('over','gallery','../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw_f2.gif','../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw_f2.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_nbGroup('out')"><img src="../assets/images/mainnav/nav.gallery.fw.gif" alt="Gallery" name="gallery" width="240" height="17" border="0" id="gallery"/></a></td>

Yes, you have to add the ;reture false" at the end, but you also have to move the "MM_openBrWindow ()" to the <a tag to make it work. Just played around with it til it worked. Workks in IE 6 and 7 and should work cross browser.

One more question though, how do you make the pop up center on screen?

Thanks for your help.
