Window Open in IE not working

Question

Could someone help me understand why this link works perfectly in firefox but in IE the pop up window doesn't work?

<a href="javascript:void window.open('/assets/flash/sage200demo.html', 'Sage 200 Demo', 'width=1024,height=768,status=0,resizable=0')">

Answer 1

The spaces in the 2nd argument to window.open are causing the problem. This argument is the window name and IE doesn't like it if you have spaces in it. This will work:

<a href="javascript:void window.open('/assets/flash/sage200demo.html', 'Sage200Demo', 'width=1024,height=768,status=0,resizable=0');">
