Pop-up windows will not open...!

[dwjonasen]

Hello

I am using Opera 9.26 and have some javascript that is supposed to open popup windows when images are clicked. However, nothing happens when I click the images.

I have the "open all pop-ups" option selected Preferences>General, and all of the other javascript I have works fine. I have been told by others that the pop-ups work fine in their Opera browser, so it is something in my configuration that I don't know about. Also, it used to work fine in previous Opera versions.

I have also deleted and reinstalled Opera, but that did not solve the problem.

These pop-ups open fine in the latest "FireFox and Internet Explorer. You can test it for yourselves at:

Click any in the list of images.

Any assistance in this matter will be much appreciated

Regards to all,

Although it works in Firefox, Firefox doesn't like your Javascript. It complains about a "malformed URI reference" on your links. I can't immediately see why, but that's probably why it doesn't work in Opera.

Thank you for your reply to my problem. I received the following message from the person who wrote that Javascript.

I'm wondering if anyone has input to this idea, or how Opera identifies itself.

Thanks,

Hey Dean,

This is likely...

"The reason it works for other people is that opera used to identify itself
as internet explorer by default, and their settings probably haven't been
changed."

Unfortunately, I have no idea what Opera *does* identify itself as... *my*
version (latest) still ID's as IE. Go figure.

If you can dig that factum up somewhere a script mod would be easy enough
for you to do (see below).


var isNN=(navigator.appName=="Netscape")?1:0;
var isIE=(navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1)?1:0;}
var isOP=(navigator.appName.indexOf("????????")!=-1)?1:0;}
if (isOP) {isIE=1;}
