[Javascript] xp sp2 ie help

Tue Oct 5 10:57:45 CDT 2004

Roger,

  My idea would be a bit different, it's just a guess (got no IE6.SP2 to 
try), but may work.
  I got some "acess denied" when trying to mess with "crossdomain"  
scripting, and as JScript is crazy, probably now it's saying "access 
denied" because "file://" is a different domain from yours site's 
domain. Try something like this:

   ===============
      <script>
         function previewImage(oImage)
         { var tmpWindow = window.open('','_blank',''); //<-- put your 
desired window attributes here
            tmpWindow.document.write('<body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 
rightmargin=0 bottommargin=0><img src="' +oImage+ '">');
            return false; //or true.. I dunnow ^^}
      </script>
===============

Tell me if it worked, owk?
