Why is this small Javascript not working ?

Below you will find the first lines of my HTML page.
Why doesn't popup a dialog window ?
I click the Html page which is on my hard disc. A IE 5.5 browser window opens
but not a dialog window inside.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test page</TITLE>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="popitup(0)">
.....

I say you need dialog, so why do you use popup?. I guess you need something
like wrote below.

In head:

function popitup(percent){
if (confirm('Is '+percent+' OK?')) { return true; }
else { return false; }
}

And in body:

<a href="blah.html" onClick="return popitup('99%')">Click me</a>

Hope it helps.

That can be done shorter:

function popitup(percent) {
return confirm("Id "+percent+" OK?");
}

If the only difference between the then-branch and the else-branch
of a condition is true vs. false, you only need one branch, with
the condition in place of the boolean constant.

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

function popitup(percent) {
child_window = window.open
("","popDialog","width=300,height=160,left=0,top=0 ,menubar=0,toolbar=0,scrol
lbars=0") ;

child_window.document.write("HELLO" + percent) ;

child_window.document.close() ;

}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="popitup(0) ">

</body>
</html>

will open a popup from the main window with "HELLO0" as the content.

Alternatively:-

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

var child_window = new Object ;
child_window.closed = true ;

function popclose() {
if (!child_window.closed) {
child_window.close() ;
}
}

function popup(args) {
if (!child_window.closed) {child_window.close() }
child_window =
window.open(args,"childwindow","toolbar=no,status= no,menubar=no,scrollbars=y
es,resizable=no,width=300,height=160,top=0,left=0" ) ;

}

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="popup('myfile.html')" onUnload="popclose() ">

</body>
</html>

which will open a popup whose content is myfile.html that closes upon the
change of content of the parent (opener) window.

Hope that helps.
