Problem with: onClick="window.open

[Jack]

Hello,
From my main page I am providing options to open a daughter window with the
specified width and height.
<a href="" onClick="window.open
('downloads.htm','sizechart','width=480,height=474,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,status=yes');">Downloads</a>

When that window is opened, and I execute another command:

<a href="#Dial Engine Pro" onClick="window.open
('downloads_dep.htm','sizechart','width=280,height=430,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,status=yes');">Downloads</a>

the new window inherits dimensions from the already opened window.

What should I change in the code above to make sure, that the window always
opens with the specified parameters or it will open the second daughter
window?
Thanks for your input,
Jack

Give the popup windows different names.

Thank you.
I understand you meant the different hyperlink name?
Is there another way of solving that problem?

I tried to change the hyperlink name to no avail.
I do not understand your reply. Please clarify.
Which window name do you mean?
In my code examples I use 2 different names:
'downloads.htm' and 'downloads_dep.htm'
or are they the same to you???

'downloads.htm' and 'downloads_dep.htm' are page names - the popup
windows must be given different names.
At present the same window is used, named "sizechart". For the second
link, change sizechart to something else.

PS
Your link will be better written as
<a href="downloads.htm" target="_blank"
onClick="window.open('downloads.htm','sizechart','width=480,height=474
,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,status=yes');return false">
If the user has javascript disabled they will still open the
downloads.htm page in a new window, rather than a pop up. The
original link would give a 404 error (page named "" does not exist)
Similarly for 'downloads_dep.htm', change the link to
<a href="#Dial Engine Pro" target="_blank"
onClick="window.open('downloads_dep.htm','sizechart','width=280,height
=430,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,status=yes');return false">
Note the return false at the end of the onclick attribute.
