So I'm pretty new to HTML and I'm having some browser problems and MAC vs PC problems. I have some Javascript in the page that opens a small window (not an entire new browser) when a link is clicked. this works on firefox both pc and mac, but it doesn't work for IE on a PC, but it does for IE on a mac. and my vlink tag doesnt work in IE either.
any help is appreciated.

Hello aw_25, and welcome to the forums.

The Javascript that opens a small window is very standard -- and as far as I know it is universally supported by all javascript enabled browsers. The fact that IE on PC is not working makes me suspect something other than a javascript/browser problem. Because a "new window" is also what is commonly called a "pop-up window" there is a good chance that the new window is being blocked by a security setting in IE, or a pop-up blocking utility on that specific computer you tested with.

To be sure of this, can you post in the code for the function itself? Clean out any specifics in the code that show the domain name by replacing the actual domain with "example.com"
