Hey everyone,

I'm currently using this code:

Code:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript>
<!--
var newWindow;
  function opener(url,width,height,name)
{
			name = name.replace(' ','+');

			var thirdAttr = "screenX=100,screenY=100";
			thirdAttr += ",width=" + width + ",height=" + (height + 16);
			thirdAttr += ",top=100,left=100";
			newWindow = window.open("showmovie.php"+"?x="+width +"&y="+ height +"&url=" + url +"&name=" + name, "display", thirdAttr);
			if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}
// -->
</script>

called by

Code:

<a href="showmovie.php?x=320&y=240&url=O-Timeline.mp4" target="A Brief History of Lame" onclick="opener('O-Timeline.mp4',320,240,'A Brief History of Lame'); return false">pop-up</a>

to popup a new window. The problem is that Safari doesn't popup but instead reverts back to the target attribute as if it was a browser that didn't support Javascript. The wierd thing is, I have gone to other webpages (like Quirksmode)and their popups worked fine in Safari. If I view the source of the page, it looks just like mine.

Is there some glaring mistake I'm missing or maybe something specific with Safari?

btw: The popups work exactly as expected in all other browsers.

Thanks a Bunch,

Ornoc

In case anyone cares, I found the solution on my own.

The problem was that the popup function was called opener() which is a reserved word in Javascript. The script worked fine in all other browsers, so I guess everyone except Safari ignores it.

Anyway, I changed the function to popitup() and problem solved.
