Problem with Pop-ups..URGENT..

Hi I have been working on this for sometime, but the code works in Mozilla Firefox but when i try it with Internet Explorer, after clicking the link, there is no pop-up but the website changes and (the material that is supposed to be in a pop-up window) goes in a full page website..Here is the code below:

<a href="chat.html" onClick="window.open('chat.html','CyberSpace Chatroom','width=565,height=317,resizeable=no');return false">Chatroom</a>

This code works in Mozilla Firefox for me (a pop-up window comes) but not in Internet Explorer, can someone fix this code so it works in both or tell me what the problem is.. Thankyou

Hmm grreaat.. it works now.. Thanx.. but another issue has come up.. when i go to the link in Mozilla.. the chatroom is in black with all the extra features (the way it is supposed to be) but with internet explorer, the chatroom is in white and the features are not present.. Can you help me with this?

Have you actually got a link for this. I made my own chat.html to test it so I can't see what you have got.

If not paste the code you have for chat.html. I always thought Internet Explorer was more forgiving than Firefox but I guess I'm being proved wrong tonight. lol

(The correct one is the Mozilla one..and the other one is the messed up one in Internet Explorer)

Having had a little play here without seeing your code it has to be your chat.html that has the problem.

Is there anything that sets the background to black within chat.html for example your body tag

Hey sorry but this is my code in chat.html :

<applet archive="http://www.freejavachat.com/java/cr.zip"
codebase="http://www.freejavachat.com/java/"
name=cr

(I added ur codes, but that did not help)(the main part is still white, but the border around is black.. so basically.. it is still the same as in the pic)

(Only the border changed to black)

This is odd because the only part in IE when I tried your code not in black was the border.

The java chat client loaded perfectly fine in black which is defined by the settings in the code you added. Not sure why it would work for me and half work for you (ie firefox).

Degsy if your there can you shed any light?

Hmm..that is weird..what version of Internet Explorer do you have? Mine is versionL 6.0.2900.2180 ...

I'm on 6.0.2800.1106CO

I can't believe that our versions are that different.

We need someone else to give it a go to see what they get.
