Hi Laurie,

I'd be willing to bet that Dan is correct.

I have been using Netscape 6.01 quite a lot recently, previewing a web site, and it has some definite issues with certain elements that neither IE or NS 4X have.

And with some aspects, it seems that if you can fix it for NS 6 it breaks it for the other two.

However in this case it would seem to me that just making these straight links and adding the "target="_blank" tag to those you want to open in a new window would accomplish what you want across all the browsers?

But I may be missing the reason for the complicated code that Adobe GoLive is using?

Hope this helps and Have a Happy Easter :)
Bob

Bob, I LOVE you![nbsp][nbsp](Well, I don't LOVE you but I love you).[nbsp][nbsp]I knew there had to be a way to do this because Netscape6 is able to perform the function on other sites.[nbsp][nbsp]I was just trying to make it more complicated than it is.[nbsp][nbsp]With the GoLive action thing it is apparently only necessary to use it if I want to resize the window or take away the scroll bar or something like that.

Now why couldn't Adobe Support figure that out.[nbsp][nbsp]

Anyway, you have made my day/week/month.[nbsp][nbsp]Until the next problem comes along.

Thanks and Happy Easter if it's still Easter when you see this.

Hi Laurie,

Thanks for the "Thanks" ;)

Glad we were able to be of some help, and I'll settle for just making your day.:)

Yep it's still Easter here in Beautiful Florida, and when the next problem crops up, post it, as this is what the FutureQuest Community is all about.

Have a Great One,
Bob

I have this weird problem with Adobe GoLive and Netscape 6.[nbsp][nbsp]There is an action in GoLive for opening a link in a separate window.[nbsp][nbsp]On Netscape 6 my windows are opening as little teeny windows that have to be resized.[nbsp][nbsp]On earlier Netscapes and Explorer, the windows open just fine.[nbsp][nbsp]Adobe is telling me there is no fix, but I refuse to believe that.[nbsp][nbsp]Maybe someone who knows more about javascript than I do could look at the code on this page and tell me if there's anything I can do to manually tweak it to get these pages to open properly in Netscape 6.[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks!

Here are a couple samples:

I haven't tried Netscape 6 (nor do I care to, based on the reviews), but that sounds like a browser issue, not at all related to the coding of your pages or the program you use to code them.

Hope this doesn't not help...,
