Thanks anyway but that didn't work, neither did a whole variety of other
methods. One of my other sites pops up perfectly in firefox and even copying
the whole link from one to the other still failed. In the end I started
re-building the page, saving as I went until...

I'm using an inline fram in the page and it is named open, links target
'open'. For some strange reason this caused the pop-up to fail. As soon as I
named it to 'notopen' everything went fine!

life is strange sometimes

Of course. Open is a JavaScript reserved word.

I know that now, but only 'cos you told me! that was one of the most
painstaking bug-hunts I've ever been on. Peculiar though how it did not
prevent the iframe function in any way and the IE continued to function.
Truly one of the worst aspects of aiming for Firefox compatibility is the
ease with which IE seems to render everything regardless of format.

The downside of it is, IE tends to do what *it* thinks you want when you
have invalid code. That may, or may not be what you actually want. Glad you
sorted it out.
