you should escape() querystring that has special characters

<a href="javascript:newVenue('http://www.someplace.com/someplace.asp?msn='+escape('grand¤') +'&tID=7&usr=dean','100','300')">page 1</a>

actually,

the problem is the fact that the URLS are on a different server/domain and you can't gain permission when using a "window.resizeTo() " ..

when I was testing earlier I was referncing pages off my desktop server..so it was working..when I 'added' urls "outside" my domain, I was getting exceptions and permission denied errors...so I guess it was that..

thanks,
james
