Popup window not popping up

Lee David

I'm trying to have a popup window of new changes when a person comes to my
web page and something has changed. I can see the "alert" popping up, but
not the page. The page would look better and wouldn't stop the original
page from opening until it was closed. Here is my code:

<body bgcolor="lightgoldenrodyellow" onload="initindex();">

<div id="flyingimage1" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:150px;
z-index:0;">
<img src="../images/DT0504_32tn.jpg" border="0"></div>

<div id="flyingimage2" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:450px;
z-index:0;">
<img src="../images/DT0504_33tn.jpg" border="0"></div>

<script language="JavaScript">
alert("AITTC has an updated web page on May 29, 2005 at 10:12 AM\n\nGo to
News to see the changes.");
var popup = window.open("http://www.mokenamartialarts.com/tkdupdate.html",
"TKD Updated", "width=200,height=250,status=no");
</script>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Take the space out of the window name:
var popup = window.open(
"http://www.mokenamartialarts.com/tkdupdate.html",
"TKDUpdated", "width=200,height=250,status=no");

Thank you, that was it. I would have never guessed that as I was confused
and thought the name parameter was the title of the page which can have
spaces. Duh.

It's working and after a few people test it I'll move it to the "real" page.
It's at www.mokenamartialarts.com/index2.php right now if you want to stop
by. I'll use the same technique in another page I'm building so I get
double duty out of it.

Thanks again,
Lee

In addition to the problem with the space in the window name that has
already been pointed out, I will never see that popup window no matter
what you change in the code unless you make it user initiated due to my
popup blocker not accepting your unsolicited popup window.
