'win' is null or not an object

Error generated within Internet Explorer when loading pop-up pages

Whenever I click on any link in Internet Explorer that requires a new window to be generated, it never loads the pop-up page. For most popups I get the following error "'win' is null or not an object". This is really becoming an irritating problem and any help would be greatly appreciated.

If this is one of your scripts, please post it so we can take a look at it. Or does this happen with every website you visit that has a popup link on it?

It happens with every popup page. It would not load page links that loaded in a new window so I unchecked to script debugger in IE and that is the error I was getting.

Note: It may be off-topic for here, but I am sucking up desperate trying to figure this one out.

If you cut and paste the following code and save it as a .html file, it should automatically produce a blank popup of 400px by 300px when it is loaded into the browser, unless you have some form of popup blocking enabled.
