pop up window issues in Netscape 6 and 7

[nickchopper]

Hi. I'm using a Javascript function in Flash 5 which opens a pop window. Works great in IE4 and 5 and Netscape 4.7, but not in Netscape 6 or 7. The window contains a form field with backend php. In Netscape 6 and 7, the window appears normally, but you can't enter text. It works if you click the submit button...you get an error message, and once closed, the box now works. Any ideas what I might do to fix this? An alternate way to pop up a window would be fine unless a javascript fix could work.

Here is the javascript I'm using:

on (release) {
getURL ("JavaScriptop();"); <----in flash GetURL box
}


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <---between head tags in html file containing swf
function pop() {
window.open("form.htm","","height=200,width=300,le ft=250,top=250");
}
</script>


THANKS!!!!!!!!

Yes, it sure does. Just upgraded from 5 and it still works there. I use Dreamweaver 4 and just upgraded to 4.01 which is supposed to fix some Netscape 6 compatability issues. Well, it doesn't do enough in the "debug" and "preview in browser" functions, but it's a help. Apparently, it doesn't offer anything to fix the Netscape 6 problem I'm having.

Now, I can go to "behaviors" in Dreamweaver, and it now has a "show events for" update in which it shows netscape 6, but my event is triggered in the embedded swf file(button with getURL actionscript and java as in first post). If you don't have Dreamweaver, I guess that was confusing , but it does work in IE6. Got a hunch?
