Hello, I have this functions which opens a new window. The function
works fine if lines 6 and 7 are omitted. But those lines are important
for the next processes so I cant just erase it. Somebody help. It's

I suggest you learn how to use the DOM methods to build dynamic content,
rather than using document.write.

content, rather than using document.write.
Another good tip would be to always write Javascript in separately included
files, never try to embed it in the middle of HTML. That way the OP won't
have to worry about </scriptterminating his script blocks.
If you want a new window or frame with some initial content it really is
much easier just to put a blank template on the server, open the window to
that URL and then use DOM methods to manipulate the content. Avoid mixing
HTML into Javascript just like you should avoid putting Javascript in HTML.

Using the DOM to populate an empty new window seems impossible to me,
however, having a filled window available for downloading is far mor
reliable.
Do not use language=javascript but the typed version:
type='text/javascript',
.... and do var any new variables,
.... and most important, methinks,
not use '</script>' inside a script but '<'+'/script>'.

Do not use language=javascript but the typed version:
type='text/javascript',
Why? Both are deprecated.

Yes.

I prefer '<\/script>'

Yes, but

has this for HTML 4.01:
<!ELEMENT SCRIPT - - %Script; -- script statements -->
<!ATTLIST SCRIPT

I'll accept that in HTML the language attribute is deprecated for
script elements, but do you (Randy) have a reference in regard to
"text/javascript"?

What Randy is referring to is the fact that although the type
attribute is mandatory for valid HTML, the impact of omitting it is
negligible provided one has not previously convinced IE that the
script language in use is VBScript.
He is also obliquely referring to the fact that in April 2006 the
following RFC appeared:
<URL: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4329 >
which proposes:
- text/javascript (obsolete)
- application/javascript
- text/ecmascript (obsolete)
- application/ecmascript
It caused something of a stir.
The bottom line is that you can nearly always safely omit the type
attribute, but if valid HTML counts, include type="text/javascript"
and accept that while there is no official sanction for text/
javascript, nearly any other value will cause the content to be
ignored in at least some browsers.

It has never really made a big difference to me to be honest. I just get
amused when I see people saying you *must* use it because the W3C says
you must yet there is no browser (short of IE's cluster-screw with
VBScript) where it makes a hill of beans difference whether it is there
or not. Yet most of the people saying "use type attribute" or "you must
have the type attribute" normally don't know why it makes any difference
other than "The W3C says you have to use it".

Close but backwards. I was obliquely referring to IE's cluster-screw

text/javascript being made obsolete.

It seems perfectly appropriate to use, on the Web, VBscript in articles
dealing with the use of VBscript in the Web and/or in WSH and/or
elsewhere.
It demonstrates, for example, the errors affecting 2007-12-31 and
2101-01-02.

Only in the warped minds of individuals who think it makes sense.
