IE 6.0 ignores screenX (Y) parameters in window.open(...). Firefox not.

[BoBi]

Hi,

See the following URL for the concerned page:
http://home.scarlet.be/kenya-belgium...lgian_cat.html
Clicking on "Menu" or "Publication" in the right upper corner triggers
the concerned code. In the code:

menuwd = window.open(locurl, 'kenbelmenu',
'toolbar=no,location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no,
scrollbars=no, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no,' +
'width=' + wd + ', height=' + ht + ', screenX=' + posX + ', screenY='
+ posY + '');

IE 6.0 ignores the screenX (Y) parameters in window.open. Firefox does
not. To solve the problem I added:

menuwd.moveTo(posX, posY);

Nevertheless this makes the popup menu flicker with IE moving it
visibly from its original locaton to the intended one.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thanks and best regards,

BoBi

IE 6.0 ignores the screenX (Y) parameters in window.open.

For IE use e.g.
'left=' + posX + ',top=' + posY
