great tarique!

though it does seem strange to me that you can't do something like this (which

is what i tried before hardcoding):


setTimeout('newwin = window.open(' + winurl,winname,winfeatures + ')', 100);


in fact, i expected to just be able to use:

setTimeout('newwin = window.open(winurl,winname,winfeatures)', 100);


can you explain the need for both single and double quoting?

cool, thanks for testing...i was too busy to try it on another box.  I've

changed my script to use 250, just for good measure.



i've also updated my site to use this approach. much cleaner again. thanks for

the info.
