Pop-up in IE7

[traxion]

Hey all,im heaving a problem with to open a pop-up in IE7, in Firefox or IE6 it just works finethe problem is that IE7 it opens in a new tab and not a pop-up

function popup(URL) {	day = new Date();	id = day.getTime();	eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=750,height=600,left = 290,top = 162');");}

is this a known issue? and how can i solve it?

I would first try looking in IE's settings, particularly the security settings. You probably can't control that behavior from JS... I don't think you would appreciate that from a website any more than your users would.

well, its for an photo-viewer, with the idea that the visitors can view the photos and read the text in 2 windowsalso is the screen to big when a new tab is opened... thats way im askingand to put the problem at the visitors is a bit cheap solution, if you ask me...

It's the only solution you got. Web pages are not allowed to change browser settings. You're trying to change a browser setting. It wouldn't be very nice if a web page could overwrite the preferences that you set on your browser, would it? If someone has their browser configured to open new windows in a tab, then that's what's going to happen. You can like it or love it, but you can't change it.

You could use a frame or iframe and call its print function, but note that both elements are deprecated and will probably be replaced (I think by object) soon.

You can also use something like ExtJS to make a DHTML popup window instead of using a browser window. But you can't change your users' browser settings.
