Here is my script in the header:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function openpopup(popurl,popwin){
winpops=window.open(popurl,popwin,"width=450,height=600,scrollbars,resizable,menubar,location,toolbar,status")
}
</script>

The script is called in a link like so:
<a href="javascript:openpopup('my_dog.htm','My Dog')">My Dog</a>

I've looked through the archives here and this script is actually an example given of how to open a new window, but it doesn't work for me.

Any suggestions on how to make this work well with IE and Mozilla? Thanks in advance.

Look ok to me.

What happens when it doesn't work? Does the page not load? Is there a javascript error?

The script is interpreting your second parameter as the name/target of the window and it has a space in it which is not allowed. Change 'My Dog' to 'MyDog' and that would fix it.


<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function openpopup(popurl,popwin){
winpops=window.open(popurl, popwin,"width=450,height=600,scrollbars,resizable,menubar,location,toolbar,status");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:openpopup('buh.htm','MyDog')">My Dog</a>
</body>
</html>


edit: there's no space in javascript:, but it keeps showing up like that

Good eye, arnyinc.

That space would certainly cause a problem
