window.open 在 IE 中无法正常工作

Question

i have a big problem with IE (tested versions 6 & 8) issue. Window.open method works correctly in FF, Opera, Chrome. IE opens new window, but loads the same url in main window. I know one solution can be to remove url from href, but i need it for JS turn off case. Also i need positioning for new window.

IE "error console" says: Access denied.

<script type="text/javascript">
function regForm()
{
var left = Math.abs((window.innerWidth - 550) / 2);
var top = Math.abs((window.innerHeight - 600) / 2);
window.open("http://somepage.html", "Signin", "width=550,height=600,scrollbars=1").moveTo(left, top);
}           
</script>
<a class="ibm-b1-bttn" href="http://somepage.html" onclick="javascript:regForm(); return false;">Register Now</a>

Please help me, this is very important for me. Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

You can use this work around to fix it. First open a blank new window, move it, then change the location. It appears to have something to do with IE security issues:

Anchor Tag:

<a class="ibm-b1-bttn" href="#" onclick="regForm();">Register Now</a>

JS Function:

function regForm() {
        var left = Math.abs((window.innerWidth - 550) / 2);
        var top = Math.abs((window.innerHeight - 600) / 2);
        var win = window.open("", "Signin", "width=550,height=600,scrollbars=1")
        win.moveTo(left, top);
        win.location = "http://somepage.html";
    }   

Answer 2

Can you try referencing the URL without the HTTP? so somepage.html , or \somepage.html depending on where the file resides on your server?

Answer 3

Unchain the windows function calls and see which one it's actually giving you the error on:

var myWin = window.open("http://somepage.html", "Signin", "width=550,height=600,scrollbars=1");
myWin.moveTo(left, top);

window.open should not give you that error. I'm betting it's the moveTo?
