I have pasted a javascript on a webpage to generate a pop-up window. The script works on my computer (preview in browser) but does not appear to work when I upload to my webhost server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Idea by: Nic Wolfe (Nic@TimelapseProductions.com) -->
<!-- Web URL: http://fineline.xs.mw -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {day = new Date();id = day.getTime(); eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=500,height=400,left = 262,top = 130');");}
// End -->
</script>


<body style="padding-left: 20" onLoad="javascript:popUp('http://www.pettiboneresort.com/open_5_01_04.htm')">

theres is no reason for js not to run on server, one thing remove the language attribute and add type attibute

I uploaded your code to my server and it worked. Do you have a popup blocker installed on your PC?

Thank you very much for your quick reply...

I assume this is what you meant (I am a js novice)

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">

this had no effect.

My hosting coming is stonewalling me, saying that js is enabled so there should be no issue there.

I am developing in FrontPage2003.

Any other direction?

Thanks

I do have a pop-up (norton) but disabled it. Also, I would have thought that It would not have worked in preview in browser if that was interfereing.

I do appreciate that you tried it on your server. I have to suspect my web host server.

do you agree?

Is this the only page that you have a javascript on? You might create a page with a simple alert upload that and try it. If it does not work then I suspect that the host is the problem. Also, can you give us link to the page in question? Maybe something else is interfering with the script.

What's the "eval()" for?? Netscape functionality??

Lots of "popups" (and, of course, popup stopper stuff) in
this forum. Hate em (popups, that is -- forcing something
on someone and, I think, it to be a very impolite imposition.

"fredmv" has a nice bit of code/advice for creating new
windows in the 19 Nov thread named "Trying To Open
New Window" submitted by "kenmurrah".

Thank you all for your help.

I will try the script again later, but I ran out of time, so I just posted the window as a click-through page.

I think it might be better, with the proliferation of pop-up blockers, they may not be the best way to get our message across.

Thanks again for all your help.
