Have been successfully using the following to open a pop-up for some
time

function msg(url) {

window.open(url,'msg','scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,width=750,height=400,resizable=yes,toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes')
}

Works fine on IE6 & Firefox, but IE7 opens a new tab obscuring the
calling page. How can IE7 be made to open a new window?

IE Tools | Internet Options | General | Tabs | Settings | When a pop-up is
encountered...

Lots more in IE Help! <wink>

window.open is NOT required to open a new window. In most modern user
agents, the end use may choose to open window a new window, open a new
tab or ignore the request entirely.

Many thanks for prompt reply.

Unfortunately it seems that IE7 by default opens the link in a tab
rather than a pop-up! As most users probably never get past the
defaults, is there any way in javascript to force a link to open in a
pop-up?
