popup and document.write problem in IE

by **deluxmilkman** on Wed Sep 26, 2007 3:20 pm

i would like to popup a window and document.write with javaScript.
The following works fine on FF, Safari, NS, both on Mac and PC, but fails in IE (6 and 7 as far as i know).
it opens a new window in IE, but it doesn't write anything. not even title.
any suggestion?

parameters are

Pic = 'pic1.jpg'
wVal = 500
hVal = 500
Name= 'nw_one'
pTitle= 'picture 1'

(new window opens in 500 x500 with title showing my xml address)

(this is written in xsl, i don't think it matters. )

[HTML]
<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[

function image(Pic,wVal,hVal,pTitle,Name){

subWin = window.open("",Name,"width="+ wVal + ",height=" + hVal +",top=0,left=0");
subWin.document.open();
subWin.document.write('<html><head><title>'+pTitle+'</title>');
subWin.document.write('</head><body background="'+ Pic +'">');
subWin.document.write('</body></html>');
subWin.document.close();
subWin.focus();

}
]]>
</script>

[/HTML]

thanx or your help.

LOL you should be lucky that code works in any browser, have you tried using the node functions instead of document.write ? of course I think you would need a root element to append the new Elements to and it looks like your starting with an empty document.
