'Permission Denied' error when opening an MP3 file in a pop-up window

[javalsu]

I would like to create a popup that reloads with a different page depending which link is clicked on the parent page. Here is the code

<script type="text/javascript">
    var childWindow
    function openNewWindow(url) {
        if (childWindow != undefined){                            
            if (childWindow.closed){                            
                childWindow = window.open(url);                  
            } else {                           
                childWindow.location.replace(url);
                childWindow.focus();                
            }
        } else {            
            childWindow = window.open(url);                  
        }
    } 
    function Popup(url){
        openNewWindow(url);
    }
    </script>

It works perfectly, unless i try to open a file as a page for example

"http://www.example.com/data.mp3"

Then I get a permission denied error, when I try to redirect the popup.

Any suggestions.

Heya, javalsu. Welcome to TSDN!

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

Please use CODE tags when posting source code:

I found a happy medium.
The reason I was getting the permission denied error, is because the new window was an add-in to the browser, in my specific case the quicktime plugin. While I was able to update a browser, I didn't have permission to update a plugin. So I created a page with an embedded player, that could be accessed. It reads in a query string with the location of the mp3 file that was to be played.

Works perfectly now.
