weird window.open in Netscape 7.1

Hi,

I'm a beginner working thru the javascript tutorial at htmlgoodies.com .

The following works on netscape 7.1 and IE:
*************** *************** *************** ******
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Testin g html and javascript</TITLE>
<script type="text/javascript">
function open_win()
{
window.open("op ened.html","joe ",config="heigh t=300,width=300 ");
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>TESTBED</H1>
<form>
<input type="button" value = "Open Window"
onClick = "open_win() ">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
*************** *************** *************** ***************
The following works on IE but not netscape 7.1 (it brings up the main window
but not the one window.open is supposed to open).
*************** *************** *************** **************
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Testin g html and javascript</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>TESTBED</H1>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("op ened.html","joe ",config="heigh t=300,width=300 ")
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>
*************** *************** *************** *******
I hope this isn't something really obvious.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Dunno.. I got both to work on both NN 4.8
and Moz 1.3 (did not bother trying with IE).

The only real difference I noticed was that
one document is valid while the other is not.
Ironically it is the one that does not validate
that works OK for you.

The only other difference I could see that
might affect the way the JS is parsed is
that the second statement does not end in
a ';'. This should not prevent the statement
from being executed AFAIK, but I'd try it if
no other explanations ..pop-up. ;-)

As a lot of web sites use window.open to open popup windows with ads or
other things the browser user is not interested in newer browsers like
Netscape 7.1 can be configured to block unrequested popup windows opened
by window.open. IE 6 SP 2 (or maybe IE 6 as patched by Windows XP SP 2)
will also allow users to block unrequested popup windows.

If it is your Netscape browser you want to reconfigure look under
Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Popup Windows
where you can either allow all popups or you can setup a list of sites
from which to allow popup windows.

Install the Google toolbar for IE, open the Google toolbar options and
ensure that the 'Popup Blocker' option is enabled - this will ensure
that both Netscape 7.1 and IE exhibit the same behaviour when it comes
to pop-ups ;-)
