Last week I posted about a guy I work for is not getting popup windows on XP IE... we wrote it off for the meantime but I am back trying to figure out why he is not able to open windows via javascript.

One window is opening, but I also noticed while visiting my PM, that the JS to remove the location bars, menus, etc so that its just a simple window seem to fail. He is getting a full blown window.

Anyone have any idea why that would fail? Could it have anything to do with his browser security levels? He also has these toolbars: Google, Yahoo, MSN, LInkedin, Linkman.

[updated] OK - it looks like the two windows that are opening are forms that are submitted via Javascript or that the window is opening via HTML target=... So he's browser is definitely blocking the new window JS. Based on a suggestion from the last post I found this page

Hey, guys. I'm trying to start that mozilla thunderbird program- the inbox. Well, I am having trouble and I thought one of you smart cpomputer people might be able to help me. Everytime I try to create a new account, it never can connect to my e-mail address. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

OK. So it asks me my name and email address. Easy.

Then it asks me if I want POP or IMAP. I have tried both. Is there one I'm supposed to pick?

Then it asks for my incoming server with the example "mail.example.net"
Well, I have tried "mail.sbcglobal.net" "pop.sbcglobal.net" "imap.sbcglobal.net" Nothing is working.

Then it asks me my incoming username- spacewine.

Then my account name, which I leave as my e-mail address.

My outgoing server- I don't know. I put "NULL" because that was on my outlook express mail, but I don't know if it's right. I never actually used my outlook express anyway, and when I try now, it keeps coming up with error messages:

The host 'smtp' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'http', Server: 'smtp', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

The host 'http' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'http', Server: 'http', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

So, basically, I don't know what I'm doing. It's all a puzzle to me. Help??

EDIT: I found out that sbctyahoo only supports these programs.
* Outlook 2002 (XP) and 2003
* Outlook 98 and 2000
* Microsoft Outlook Express
* Microsoft Outlook Express for Macintosh
* Eudora 5.1 and higher
* Netscape Mail: all versions
* IncrediMail Build 618 and higher
* Entourage 2001 and higher
So I've been working on this forevevr for no reason.

BTW, I am using the firefox browser and my computer is a wondows xp (I don't know what info is needed). I'd really appreciate any help. Thank you!!

So the new project at work are emailed newsletters, and I basically want them to use the same layout for the website in these emails (so they know it's from us + I don't have to think up a whole new design).

Only issue is that the website uses a fair chunk of css. Since linking to an outside css file is out of the question (mainly because who knows if they read it online or not), I'll have to have all that stuff within the html itself. Only thing I want to make sure is that it's pretty standard for email systems (outlook, mail for osx, gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc) to be able to process that kind of stuff.

so... this'll be okay, right?
