The htm document Simple_html.htm opens nicely in Firefox. In IE, the
window opens but states that "IE cannot display the web page".

I do not think it has anything to do with posted code...
More likely that your page Simple_html.htm has some issues...
The url might help us to help you.

In your window.open call, does the second param contain a space?

e.g. window.open('Simple_html.htm','simple html','...');

If so, this will fail in IE (bug 289)

I should verify, but I'm also curious if in the list of parameters, if
the ", ' comma-space works as a delimeter. It would be weird if it
was that picky, but I don't know.

The window name surely cannot harbour a space?

Why should it?

A Javascript variable name or an html ID value cannot have a space.

That is not a bug.

Why are you talking about spaces in variables?....he doesnt have a
space in the variable...you can clearly see the code!

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('Simple_html.htm','simple_html','
width=500, height=500, scrollbars=1, location=1, menubar=1,
resizable=1, toolbar=1, left=20, top=20');">
<img src="pics/
nestor.jpg" alt="nestor the nerd" />
</a>




Move on...
