1281244 - the "window.open" documentation is outdated

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: API: DOM, defect, P3)

Description

[vincekd]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160606200529

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open


Actual results:

The documentation, especially the "Position and Size" section, is woefully outdated, not giving accurate information on browser support or standards status (it even seems to pre-date Chrome).


Expected results:

The documentation should give the latest info on browser support and standards compliance.

Hiya,

I am currently looking for bugs to fix as part of my Open Source Development module at Coventry University and I am interested in developing this bug.

Please could you assign this task to me and give me more information.

This is my first bug fix and any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

This page has a modern compatibility table. However, the content, as noted in the bug description, includes individual support info for Netscape and Mozilla 1.0, etc.
