problem with window.open

javascript redirects

[bigBrother]

I am following one of your recommendations to redirect a page without having the annoying alert.
Here's my code:

function win() {
window.open("../MyDirectory/MyFile.asp","","height=800,width=1024,left=0,top=0,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes");
}

function winClose() {
self.close()
}

This is called with an OnClick and and closes with an OnBLur.

My problem is that the new window I want to open needs to have the location bar available.
If I remove the location parameter, I do not get that annoying alert box. But, if I do include it, then the page is redirected with the annoying alert box.

How can I get around this?

Thanks for all your help,

If your want the new window to be that large, and have all the normal window assets, why not simply open it with target="_blank"?

if your redirecting the user to a new window and then closing the original window, can you not do a simple
document.location='myfile.asp' on a onClick?

Hi RonPK
The reason I'm not wanting to use <"_blank">, is quite simply because I don't want yet another browser instance, but rather to have this pop-up resize itself to the set dimensions with all the parameters back in place. The pop-up initially had none of those parameters, and was much smaller.

Janevok,
By doing a "document.location='myfile.asp' on a onClick" -- wouldn't that leave the underlying pop-up open?

Thanks all for your quick repsonses,
