Javascript “window.open” code won't work in Internet Explorer 7 or 8

Question

I am using this chunk of jQuery/Javascript code on my site to open a popup window:

$(\'#change_photo_link\').click(function(){
    $id = $(\'#id\').attr(\'va         


        

Answer 1

The windowName argument can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores (i.e. [A-Z0-9_]).

You must change

window.open("photo.upload.php?id=" + $id,"Upload Photo",
"menubar=no,width=430,height=100,toolbar=no");

to

window.open("photo.upload.php?id=" + $id,"Upload_Photo",
"menubar=no,width=430,height=100,toolbar=no");

or some other name that doesn't have spaces.
