I use the following script to open a new browser window without menubars, scrollbars etc, and close the originating window.

It works perfectly with Windows Explorer, but freezes in Netscape (displays only blank window)

------------------------------------------------------------------
</head>

<script language="JavaScript">
var boekVenster;
var breedte;
var hoogte;

function nieuwvenster() {
breedte = screen.width - 10;
hoogte = screen.height - 50;
extra = "toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=" + breedte +",height=" + hoogte +",top=0,left=0";
// als boekVenster al bestaat...
if (boekVenster != null)
//...boekVenster sluiten als het nog open is
if (!boekVenster.closed) boekVenster.close();
boekVenster = window.open("front.html","naam",extra);
window.opener=top;
window.close();
}

</script>

<body onLoad="javascript:nieuwvenster()">
</body>
</html>

---------------------------------------------------------

any help ?

Try turning all the zeros into no's, and take the javascript: part out of the onLoad attribute value...

Open Netscape's JavaScript Console, it tells you what is wrong.
Scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script.

It works without any changes !!!

when using Netscape you have to Allow Popups From This Site
(see TOOLS)
