window.open will not open child window in new browser window

window.open problem

[Popdum]

Hi,

As far as I know, one can open a new window using window.open using javascript, and the new window opens in another window, unless _parent is specifically given.

However, when I use window.open, the new window opens in the same browser window as the parent, and there is no way the child window can interact with the parent.

Has anybody experienced a similar problem?

Any advice or suggestions are most welcome!

Thanks everybody for you help.

Good! I don't want YOU opening applications on MY machine

Yep

Stop trying with your current approach... figure out what you NEED to acheive, and get it to work in ONE tab/window

I second.

JavaScript popups have been proven a bad idea for a LOOOOOOONG time now. Abandon this approach.

Yes, I have changed my approach.
