I have a strange problem. I have code (heck it is some of the Lounge code) that will work properly in IE but fails in Mozilla0.9.2/Netscape6.2.
The code consists of a primary page with a link to a javascript on the same page. This link passes a parameter to the script. The script then opens a new window and sets focus. It then passes the parameter to a Perl script. The Perl script processes the parameter and generates a simple html page which is rendered in the new window.
Well sort of, in IE it renders it properly but in Mozilla browsers it displays raw html. Even more interesting, I can select and copy the raw html from the pop-up window, paste it into a new html file, and then, using the same browser on the same machine render the html properly.
Sample code follows:
The link:
Rule 10
The script:
function popRule(rule) {
var rules = open("http:://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/rules.pl?Rule="+rule,
"popRule","resizable=no,top=100,left=100,width=400,height=250");
if (rules != null) rules.focus();
if (!rules.opener)
rules.opener = window
}
Any ideas?
