Mountain Man

Hi,

I'm trying to use window.open from inside a user defined function, and
it's not working. A code example is shown below. Thanks for any help
you can give.

============

<script>

function openFootnote(co ntentURL) {
window.open('co ntentURL','foot notes','height= 180,width=160') ;
}

</script>

I've tried calling on the function 2 different ways, as shown below.
Nothing happens either way.

<a href="javascrip t:(void)" onClick="openFo otnote(fn1.html );">...</a>

<a href="javascrip t:(void)" onClick="return
openFootnote(fn 1.html);">...</a>

} <a href="javascrip t:(void)" onClick="return

Since openFootnote() returns nothing there's no point in doing this. Just
try:

<a href="javascrip t:openFootnote( 'fn1.html')">

Anyway, I guess your own code should work fine, simply note fn1.html is not
a variable but a string and you forgot quotes.
