new popup window does not jump to anchor

[Daniel Goldman]

When I open a new popup window, with a url that includes an
anchor, about 1/5 of the time the page displays correctly
(jumps to anchor), 4/5 of the time page displays incorrectly
(starts from top). Here is the code I use:

HelpWindow_j = window.open ('webpage.htm#u niqAnchor', 'uniqName',
'hotkeys,locati on,resizable,sc rollbars,height =300,width=600' , true);

This happens in IE 6.0, not in NS 4.7; NS 4.7 works correctly.
I have not tested other browsers.

To see in action, click on some of the help links on:
http://www.ehdp.com/vn/ro/acv/txu1/dgw/eg1/index.htm
I want them to display a popup with help file positioned
correctly, but it usually displays file from top. The
location input field does show the correct url, with hash.

I have tried opening window with no url specified, then
setting location, location.href, or location.hash; same
problem. I've played around with setTimeout(). Did not help.

I know this is probably not a new problem, but I have not
seen a good answer anywhere. Please help!

It seems to be working for me AOK. I'm using Mozilla 1.3.1 as a browser.

Are your problems in IE?

As the OP includes the words:-

- I would guess that they probably are.

Yep. I completely missed that. :)
