javascript thread: Pop-up Problem


Message #1 by George Smyth <george.smyth@U...> on Mon, 11 Feb 2002 08:18:33 -0500
I've encountered numerous problems with Netscape 4.0X and don't really work
it in the mix any longer.  Sheesh, I wonder why the code just doesn't work
on my machine (IE5.5).

Cheers -

George,et al:
I used basically the idential code.
The width and height spec worked fine, but scrollbars=yes, was ignored.
I'm using NN4.07, and it did not wor either online or offline.
Anyone ever encounter this glitch.
