about:blank?

I've cobbled together a script that should load a picture in a new,
automatically sized window. Because the image.height and image.width may be
0 if I test them right away, I use setTimeout to loop until they are both
not zero. I've run into two problems:

- In IE, the script doesn't seem to loop. If the picture isn't already
cached, nothing appears to happen; if it is in cache, the window (rather
slowly) opens up.

- In Netscape, the script also doesn't seem to loop properly. (Yes, I'll
revisit all of that.) However, even if the picture does pop up I get the
following message in the js console: Security Error: Content at
http://www.uahc.org/ct/ct015/photos2.html may not load data from
about:blank.

That last bit really puzzles me.

Its a cross-domain security issue. The reason is because about:blank is
not in the same domain as www.uahc.org so you get the security warning.
If you just want a blank page you can read/write to, create a blank.html
that is nothing but a blank page, load that page instead, and then you
can script it without the security warnings.

Cross-domain security rescrictions apply. The browser considers
http://ww.uahc.org and about: to be different domains, two different
protocols even, and refuses to communicate between them.
i guess you open the popup with
open('about:bla nk',...
Try
open('',...
instead.

I really shouldn't post when I'm tired... I'm not, myself, referenced
"about:blan k" at all; but I think there's another bit of script in the page
(I inherited this web site) that might have been put there by FrontPage. I
need to look at it more thoroughly, and post a bit more intelligently.

Well, I solved my problems. Thanks to those who had ideas, but all it really
took a good night's sleep and some thought. The whole thing revolved around
the question "Which variables are in scope when setTimeout evaluates its
argument?"
