window.open or target="_blank"`

Access Denied

[joshie76]

Just been testing something on a plain W2K build with IE 5.00 as the browser and we found that whenever a window.open function is called or a href target="_blank" is clicked the window doesn't open.

I've combed the settings in IE (there are no plug/snap-ins on this machine to disable popups) and can't find anything that would prevent a window from opening.

The JScript window.open returns an 'Access Denied' error (the domain is the same as the document with the open method).

Anybody know what's going on here?

Have you checked that the Internet User has permissions to open the file in wwwroot if it's hosted on the same machine? If not do you have any antivirus programs which may have script blocking enabled?

No, I don't think it can be IIS user permissions otherwise they wouldn't be able to open the page that's trying to open the window.

Also, anyone can access the page and open the windows on the server (it's not localhost) except for on this machine.

>> If not do you have any antivirus programs which may have script blocking enabled?
It has the same Anti-virus software that we're using and scripts are running fine with the exception of the window.open method.

Thanks anyway - any other ideas?
