Problem with IE SP2 on Windows XP 2002 SP2

The following piece of javascript code below works fine in
IE 6.0 on the Windows 2000 server but not on the Windows
XP 2002 SP2

var win = window.open('',targetKey,str);
if (isIE()) {
while ( transfer ) {
if (!win || win.closed || (win.document
&& win.document.forms[0]) ) {
transfer = false;
}
}
}

The above code on XP SP2 throws a javascript error
stating "DO you wish to debug". When we debug we see that
the value of the variable "win" is "undefined" in IF LOOP.
I tried to check the following link about similar problem
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maint
ain/sp2brows.mspx#EFAA

I have put following fix

var winStandIn = window.open('',targetKey,str);
var win = winStandIn;
win = winStandIn;
if (isIE()) {
while ( transfer ) {
if ( !win || win.closed ||
(win.document && win.document.forms[0]) ) {
transfer = false;
}
}
}

I still see the same problem. :(

Any pointers on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sandeep
 
var win = window.open('',targetKey,str);

This accesses About:Blank. What security zone is it in?
I have mine in Restricted just to make code like this look silly.
It means that many web applications, especially ones which
create menu systems present me with a message about
a cross-zone access attempt. It doesn't matter if I reply
Yes or No. The warning is meaningless.

I think your solution will be to create your own About_Blank.htm
which will be guaranteed to be in the Internet zone.

Robert,
I missed one statement after the
var win = window.open('',targetKey,str);

It is
win.location=//Programatically generated URL which is a
JSP of web application

The locatiobn was not blank rather a URL to a resource
within web application.

My Security Settings for Internet Zone is MEDIUM and the
Local Intranet Zone is MEDIUM-LOW.

The pop up JSP shows sometimes in XP properly but
sometimes throws error "Permission Denied"

Thanks
Sandeep

That doesn't get you out of the potential issue I mentioned.

Here is what the MSDN syntax description of that method says
about that first parameter:

sURL Optional. String that specifies the URL of the document to display.
If no URL is specified, a new window with <B>about:blank</B>
is displayed.

(emphasis from HTML source retained)

My Security Settings for Internet Zone is MEDIUM and the
Local Intranet Zone is MEDIUM-LOW.

And where is About:Blank? Try creating your own About_Blank.htm
and see if your symptom changes?

Again, I suspect a zone conflict.

BTW this is not a good newsgroup for discussing developer's
problems. Try a developer newsgroup. (E.g. via MSDN,
newsgroups, Web Development, etc.)
