</script>

please help

Can you paste the actual string output instead of the PHP code? Also, are you using any VBScript on the page? — Andy E, Aug 10 '10 at 11:16
The output should be a popup window which is displayed in FF but not in IE.. it doesnt have any specific output — OM The Eternity, Aug 10 '10 at 11:20
@OM: I meant the string output passed as the first argument to *window.open()* — Andy E, Aug 10 '10 at 11:21
@OM: do you receive any error messages in IE? Have you tried using the developer tools to see if it picks up any issues? — Andy E, Aug 10 '10 at 11:47
What version of IE. You are talking about all of them or just 6,7,8,9? It makes a difference. — epascarello, Aug 10 '10 at 12:06

Maybe you have IE set to block popups? You have to whiteflag the domain or it won't open. I would check your preferences.

If you are using PHP to generate this string, you should be using urlencode to make sure the URL's querystring is valid.

Don't set the second parameter. It doesn't work in IE... just leave it empty.

window.open('". HTTP_SERVER . "/crop.php?bgimagecode1=".$realname."&x=".$w."&y=".$h."& id=".$_POST['categoryId']."&bannersize=".$_POST['size']."&osCsid=".$_POST['sid']."','','fullscreen=yes,scrollbars=yes');

More info in a previous thread...

-ve i need it. i cant do that – OM The Eternity Aug 10 '10 at 11:26
@Andy E: I had the some problem and by leaving the second parameter empty (the title of the window) it solved my problem. – thomasvdb Aug 10 '10 at 11:26
@thomas: That can happen if the name has spaces or other invalid characters in it. A valid name will work just fine. – Andy E Aug 10 '10 at 11:34
@thomasvdb The second parameter is the string that just names the new window. Such string can be used to be the target of links and forms when the target attribute of an element or of a
is specified. This string parameter should not contain any blank space. strWindowName does not specify the title of the new window. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.open]
