My script opens a window that is supposed to be resizable and

I have no idea why it is like that on NS 6. It's probably a bug. But
note that most people who ever used NS 6 are now all using NS 7.x or
Mozilla or Camino. I tried your page with NS 7.1 on windows and the
popup had scrollbars when the content area was larger/taller than the
window dimensions.
I am able to resize it smaller than the page but scrollbars still do not appear. What am I doing wrong. Is this just
a bug in the Mac version of Netscape. Please let me know if the popup
window is scrollable on your platform and do you see a problem with my
code.
The page is http://www.dcs-chico.com/~denmarks/amtrak.html
(just select a train with many stops such as California Zephyr)
The code that creates the window is in
http://www.dcs-chico.com/~denmarks/amtrakscripts.js
function createWindow() {
winStats="toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,me nubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=625,he ight=600";
smallWindow=window.open("","",winStats);
};
You can write the function like this (more compact):
function createWindow() {
smallWindow = window.open("", "",
"scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=625,height=600 ");
};
"(...) if you do supply the windowFeatures parameter, then (...) the
other features which have a yes/no choice are no by default."
http://devedge.netscape.com/library/...w.html#1202731
"(...) When the sFeatures parameter is specified, the features that are
not defined in the parameter are disabled."

Note also that the requested height is too much for all 800x600 and
1024x768 scr. res. on windows since the availHeight (area for
applications; minus semi-permanent os-dependent applications like
windows' taskbar, MS-office quick launch bar, MS-magnifier, etc.) will
be smaller than 600. I think you should make the initial requested
height of smallWindow shorter than 600. The bottom part of the 625x600
popups were all [clipped] off the screen or under the window taskbar
over here.
The scripts in that page use a dangerous (IMO) number of
document.write(). I think the whole scripts could be written without any
document.write() and by using W3C DOM methods instead. Slashes are not
escaped in these calls and will generate validation errors.
