I have a site, using the next javascript:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<HEAD>
	<!-- Generate table option menu : http://www.htmlbasix.com/dropmenu.shtml -->
	<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JAVASCRIPT' TYPE='TEXT/JAVASCRIPT'>
		<!--
		var popupWindow=null;
		function popup(mypage;myname;w;h;pos;infocus){

		if (pos == 'random')
		{LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;}
		else
		{LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;}
		settings='width='+ w + ';height='+ h + ';top=' + TopPosition + ';left=' + LeftPosition + ';scrollbars=yes;location=no;directories=no;status=no;menubar=no;toolbar=yes;resizable=yes';popupWindow=window.open('';myname;settings);
		if(infocus=='front'){popupWindow.focus();popupWindow.location=mypage;}
		if(infocus=='back'){popupWindow.blur();popupWindow.location=mypage;popupWindow.blur();}

		}
		// -->
	</script>


and I used the next to call the javascript: 

<a target="_blank" href="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a>


Prior FF6 it worked as charm, but with FF, it doesn't work anymore.

Anyone, idea ?

BTW - Javascript is enabled in FF.

I have a site, using the next javascript:<br /> <br /> <pre><nowiki><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <HEAD> <!-- Generate table option menu : http://www.htmlbasix.com/dropmenu.shtml --> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JAVASCRIPT' TYPE='TEXT/JAVASCRIPT'> <!-- var popupWindow=null; function popup(mypage;myname;w;h;pos;infocus){ if (pos == 'random') {LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;} else {LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;} settings='width='+ w + ';height='+ h + ';top=' + TopPosition + ';left=' + LeftPosition + ';scrollbars=yes;location=no;directories=no;status=no;menubar=no;toolbar=yes;resizable=yes';popupWindow=window.open('';myname;settings); if(infocus=='front'){popupWindow.focus();popupWindow.location=mypage;} if(infocus=='back'){popupWindow.blur();popupWindow.location=mypage;popupWindow.blur();} } // --> </script></nowiki></pre> <br /> and I used the next to call the javascript: <pre><nowiki><a target="_blank" href="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a></nowiki></pre> <br /> Prior FF6 it worked as charm, but with FF, it doesn't work anymore.

The Problem is with <a href> in FF6 version.

Replace

<a target="_blank" href="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a>

With

<a href="#" onClick="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a>

OR

<a target="_self" href="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a>
