Window.open problems in html

Question

I am trying to open a new window with a button. The window needs to have a specific height and width. Whenever I click the "open" button it just opens a completely new tab.

var aWindow;

function openWindow() {
  aWindow = window.open("", "", "width=400, height = 200");
}

function closeWindow() {
  if (aWindow) {
    aWindow.close();
  }
}

<html>

<body>
  <button onclick="openWindow();">Open</button>
  <button onclick="closeWindow();">Close</button>
</body>

</html>

Are you testing in firefox ? – gowtham rajan Mar 26 '19 at 04:59
I'm testing it on a virtual machine then running it in chrome. I've never had problems with the virtual machine before – John Kosmalski Mar 26 '19 at 05:04
