Sorry if my post is out of line, but I'm new here and this seems to fit with the other postings.
I have been using the following code successfully for the last 2 years on a wide variety of browsers. It is a simple window.open():
window.open('../../LPI-LMS/Home/Frame_Set.jsp',
'','resizable=yes,scrollbars=auto,status=yes,width =798,height=528');
But ever since I installed WindowsXP on my PC, this statement won't work -- it doesn't honor the width request. I have had two friends hit the site with their WindowsXP boxes, and they have the same problem.
If I remove the "resizable", then the width will function, but of course, it is no longer resizable. I have tried "resizable" in all possible postions relative to the other attributes and with all three coding options (resizable, resizable=1, and resizable=yes). I have tried placing the statment in the body and in the onLoad of the body tag. All have the same result -- the resizable seems to cause the width value to be ignored. (I did not check for resizable's effect on the height value.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this bug?
I can not find this bug listed anywhere, yet I know this code has been working for the last 2 years, until WindowsXP -- and it is pretty basic JavaScript. Has anyone else seen this bug?
