popup JS error

June 19th, 2005, 10:03 pm

Hi all,

I have an issue where a Javascript popup code works absolutely fine in IE 6 in some machines, but in some other machines, IE 6 returns an error "Access denied" when trying to open the popup window. I think it might be some prob. with IE settings, anyway not sure abt that .... Any idea how to rectify this ?

Thanx in advance.

Can you post the line to open the window?

This is the code for the pop-up that 'am using ...

newWindow = window.open('url.htm','myPage','height=200,width=275,top=' + y + ',left=' + x +',resizable=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no');

It might not be the popup code, it seems to work for me. I would guess that the file is not have high enough privileges to be retrieved by apache. I do not know how to change this on a windows server but on my gentoo server I become root and run:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

single file:
chmod 755 filename

folder:
chmod -R 755 foldername

1. single file:
2. chmod 755 filename
4. folder:
5. chmod -R 755 foldername

If the popup shows up the link is working but not allowed to be displayed. Hope this helps.

My files are hosted in IIS (Win2K Prof.), and i dont think it has something to do with file permission bcoz it works fine in all machines except one or two. I strongly believe that its some prob. with IE settings or some machine settings itself, but dont know how to fix this ....

Got any other idea abt this ??

Thanx.

So it works on other computers? Hmmm....Have you tried different browsers on the computers that did not work? I really do not recall to much about all the ie options.

Currently these machines have only IE 6 installed. Let me try installing FireFox and will get back.
