I'm trying to make it so that a clicked link will open a Flash movie into its own set size window. But in IE8 (and IE8 emulating IE7) it only opens up in a new tab, with the movie filling the entire window's size!
Here's the link I'm trying:
<Script Language="JavaScript"> function load() { var load = window.open('http://www.girlscoutsmoheartland.org/flash/ twitter_tutorial.swf','_blank','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=0,heigh t=400,width=550,resizable=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,zoominherit=0 ');
}
// --> </Script>
Open Flash tutorial in a separate window by <a href="javascript:load ()">clicking here</a>.
It works fine in Firefox and Google Chrome. But obviously, I need it to work in IE! Any advice? Thanks! Liam
Might be a Cookies issue with any of the hosts involved. A possible workaround is to login with a Live ID explicitly first, instead of relying on the redirect mechanism which is sometimes flakey.

Again, I appreciate the help. But again an error. Kinda suspicious to have so many...may be something on my end. Although I've tried both IE8 and Google Chrome. Weird that both browsers would have cookie errors.

What is your connection path? E.g. is there a proxy in the way? Then the https could be a problem.
You can use Fiddler2 to see what is going on and even force https through it (IE will complain about certificate because of man-in-the-middle pass-through, as Eric Lawrence explains on the Fiddler FAQ site).
BTW that suggestion of logging in first didn't work as smoothly as I imagined it would. I got a message in the forums page then that I wasn't logged in with only a Continue button usable on it. Using that button got my login recognized somehow. YMMV.
