I'm using the following to open a new window, with the intention of providing a backup link should java be switched off or a popup blocker be present <a href="pagename.html" onClick="openpopup();return false;">link </a> the popup script is located in a seperate .js file and it works fine, in-so-much as it launches a new window, however in IE6 running on a windows machine, the new page is also loading in the main browser. it doesn't happen on my mac Is there something I don't know?

Shouldn't it be return true?

Hi Mozopera I'm sure it should be 'false', althought I've tried it as 'true' and the same thing happens

Yes it should definately be 'return false;' to stop further processing. Can't really see anything wrong. I use pretty much the same code and it works fine. Only things I can see different are:
- try a space between the two statements, after the ';',
- try declare the language you are using.
- onclick instead of onClick
I would not have thought any of those would cause problems, but you caould try them. i.e.
<a href="pagename.html" onclick="javascript:openpopup(); return false;">link </a>

I'm guessing that the problem must be with my popup script, which has a resize function, it works a treat but could it be canceling out the return false statement? function openpopup(){
var sw = (screen.width - 10);
var sh = (screen.height); remote = window.open("pagename.html","pagename","toolbar=no,resizable=yes,status=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no");
remote.moveTo(0,0);
remote.resizeTo(sw,sh);
}
