I am using Javascript to dynamically create a popup window upon a page event.
The code I am using looks something like the function below, apologies for not
providing a URL.

The popup window opens fine, however the Javascript and CSS files included in
the header are not loaded. I realise that they are relative URL's, as opposed to
absolute however this does not seem to bother browsers such as Internet
Explorer, and in a corporate environment where an application is moving between
production and test servers the absolute URL is likely to change.

Code to launch popup:

function openWindow(){
	var g =
window.open('','foo','height=600,width=500,toolbar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1');	
		g.document.write('<html><head>');
		g.document.write('<style type="text/css" media="all">@import
url("css/style.css");</style>');
		g.document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>');
		g.document.write('</head><body>foo</body></html>');
	g.document.close();
}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Implement Code Provided
2. Launch Popup
3. Observe lack of JS/Styles.

Actual Results:  
The popup window opened, however the stylesheet and JS file were not present.

Expected Results:  
The software should have interpreted the relative URL's in the dynamically
generated pages based upon the location of the HTML or JS document from which
the page was launched, in order to locate/load the relevant includes.
Not a CSS issue; it's just a matter of what the base URI of the document is....
