passing values > only id is being passed

[dorandoran]

function openMyWindow()
{ 
    var myID = document.getElementById('ctl00_maincontent_txtEmpID').value;
    //var fname = document.getElementById('<%= lblFullName.ClientID %>').value;
    //var lname = document.getElementById('ctl00_maincontent_txtlname').value;
    var fname = document.getElementById('ctl00_maincontent_txtfname').value;
    var url = "assign_dept.aspx?id="+myID+"&fname="+fname;
    //WORKS  var url = 'assign_dept.aspx?id='+myID;
    //alert(fname + ', ' + lname);   //works
    window.open(url,'welcome','width=400,height=250');
}

also tried,

var url = 'assign_dept.aspx?id='+myID+'&fname='+fname

;

any other ideas?

TIP: When you are writing your question, there is a button on the tool bar that wraps the [code] tags around your copy/pasted code. It helps a bunch. Its the button with a '#' on it. More on tags. They're cool. Check'em out.

Wayyyyy toooo strange behavior by IE (firefox is working perfectly).
1. IE does not open up the pop up alert
2. IE only shows one name

FF > Both pop up and whole name comes up.

function openMyWindow()
{ 
    var myID = document.getElementById('ctl00_maincontent_txtEmpID').value;
    var sName = document.getElementById('ctl00_maincontent_txtfname').value + " " + document.getElementById('ctl00_maincontent_txtlname').value;
    var url = 'assign_dept.aspx?id='+myID+'&sName='+ sName;
    alert(sName);
    window.open(url,'welcome','width=400,height=250');
}
 

ANY IDEA???
