Hi everyone, Glad I found this board.
First time poster.

I'm developing a popup catalog/portfolio for a client.

The first 2 javascript pages I did worked fine on a pc, but wouldn't open up at all on the client's Mac using IE, opened fine on Netscape 6.2.

So on to the third ...
The one thing I like about this one, is it auto-sizes to the size of the image. Unfortunately, on a Mac it only seems to open to a 2x2 inch square.

Can anyone please help me trouble-shoot it ? or
anyone know what I need to do to get it to work on a Mac using IE ?

will be designed for 1024x768

Thanks !

I checked your page on my Mac's (Umax clones) and they pop up fine in IE 5.1.7 and Netscape 7.01. The Netscape is slightly larger than the IE . I would quess that the IE was about 425 pixels wide X 500 high. Seemed that the image was cut off on the right side. Hope that observation helps.

I also have problems with pop-ups but my problem is I can't seem to control the size in Netscape only in IE. Also have a conflict when I have two javascript functions.

Take a look at this script that I found that I am going to using.

<script>

//Popup Window Script
//By JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com)
//JavaScript tutorials and over 400+ free scripts

function openpopup(){
var popurl="thankyou.htm"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=400,height=338,")
}

openpopup()

</script>

I change it to the following for my use

<!-------------------Start Special Announment Pop-up Window Code------------->
<script>

//Popup Window Script
//By JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com)
//JavaScript tutorials and over 400+ free scripts

function openpopup(){
var popurl='URL.html'
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=685,height=470,scrollbars=no,status=no")
}

openpopup()

</script>

<!-- End Special Announcement Pop-Up Window Code -->
</head>

Now this works in IE 5.1.7 , NS 6 & 7.01 and the beautiful part about it the pop-up window opens the same size in all of them. I am running Mac OS 9.1 . I will be moving up to Mac OS X as soon as my new 800Mhz ZIF is installed next week.

Macman,

If you haven't already purchased, or obtained, OSX for your computer...wait a bit.

Apple is finalizing 10.3 right now, and it will be shipping soon. It has excellent enhancments over 10.2, which was already a kick ass os to start with. I would hate for anyone to get 10.2 now, only to be behind the 8-ball again in a month.
