Javascript help

Why is this not working under IE?

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

function PopUp(url) {
window.open(url,"popup", 'scrollbars, width=750, height=500');
}

</script>


<a href="javascript:PopUp('popup.html')">click here</a>

What version of IE??
Works fine for me in IE7.

The only thing that held me up is not having access to popup.html... is this file in the same directory as this page???

The only other thing I could think of is your security settings.
IE7 blocks javascript by default... I had to allow execution of your script... maybe you've got javascript disabled???

Well, see for yourself: http://blackriven.5gbfree.com/bands/JohnPetrucci.html
Scroll down to discography and videos.

I'm also using IE7. It works fine on Firefox.

In some rare situations, like when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes:

name='John "ShotGun" Nelson'

Does it work if we change your tag to

<a href='javascript:PopUp("popup.html")'>click here</a>

???

Nope it still doesn't work.
