 Hello,

I seem to be having trouble with a rather simple problem. I am opening a new
window with the window.open command, and even though I set scrollbar=yes, I
can't seem to get the window to display a vertical scrollbar when the text
exceeds the height of the window i just openned (on a side note, ideally I
would like to just have a vertical scrollbar).

My code follows. Thank you,
~Dari

<table style='border:2px inset;font-size:medium;' cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td border='0' bgcolor='#EEEEE0' >
<table border="0">

<td width="260">

I've always used:
<script language="javascript">

<!-- Begin
function NewWindow(mypage, myname, w, h, scroll) {
        var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;
        var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;
        winprops = 'status=yes
'+'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+wint+',left='+winl+',scrollbars='+scro
l
l+'';         new_win = window.open(mypage, myname, winprops);
        new_win.window.focus();
}
// End -->
</script>
or a variant thereof, and always get scrollbars if I've mis-sized the
window to the page content...

It's scrollbars=yes and not scollbar=yes

You're using tables (nested tables on top of that) for non-tabular data.
