114685 - Javascript does not size pop-up windows correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Michael A. Sypes]

<script>
Aside from the other silliness (accept my apologies beforehand) at the
referenced URL, try clicking on one of the links under the "VITA".
Each link calls the following Javascript function with its own value for "whichref":

<SCRIPT>
<!--Hide script
		function showRef(whichref) {
				RefWindow =
window.open(whichref,'refwindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,width=558,height=607,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes')
				RefWindow.focus()
        }
// End hide -->
</SCRIPT>

Note that the size of the new window is specified by the script.

In build ID 2001101117, this script DID give the correctly sized window.
In build ID 2001111514, the resulting window comes up sized according to
whatever I happen to have my current window set.
In build ID 2001121104, the problem is still here.

I have noted that the annoying pop-up windows that some commercial sites use for
advertising also now show up as full-sized windows, when I'm sure they were
intended to be smaller.

It seems as though something's been broken.

Over to DOM0.  This is working correctly on Linux, so must be mac-only....

The problem has apparently been corrected.
I'm using MacOS 8.6 BTW.
