window.createpopup question
I'm creating a web page using VBScript that uses the window.createpopup feature. Everything works perfectly if I hardcode the location element in the oPopup.show call. For example:
oPopup.show 25, 25, 180, 50, btn
This will display the popup window as an offset of the "btn" object. However, if I pass the location of the object as a parameter (as is shown in the code below), the popup window appears as an offset of the browser rather than the passed-in object.
A copy of the code that doesn't work is attached below.
Any advice?
Thanks

actually, you may have to reverse the double and single quotes for VBScript:
<BUTTON ID="Btn" onclick='ButtonClick2(docu
<BUTTON ID="Btn" onclick='ButtonClick2(docu

Sorry Knight. The popup element seems to be doing the same thing for me. The popup menu location should be set from the msg span but it still shows as located from the browser itself.
Could it be a browser version thing? I'm running IE5.5.

I would use Javascript for such purposes, and different coding to make it work in Netscape too though.
