==== Ole and javascript (OpenInsight 32-Bit) ====

<QUOTE>
I am trying to login into a website which launches a popup window using shell.explorer.2 OLE.  Whenever, I click the search button on the web page (which executes a javascript call parent.right_frame.open_popup("search","xxx.asp") ), the popup window opens then closes with the message "Thank you for using XXX. You have successfully logged out of your session.". This does not happen when I am using IE directly. I checked the java script for the popup window function and the popup window function is calling a validate login function. The validate login function declares a variable user_fk then tests it.  The test is obviously failing but why: 



	var user_fk=777"

	if ((user_fk == "") || (user_fk == -1)){

	     if(window.opener){

	         window.opener.parent.location=logon.asp?msg=Thank you for using XXX. You have successfully logged out of your session.";

    	         window.close()

	     }

  	    else{

	        parent.window.location=logon.asp?msg=Thank you for using XXX. You have successfully logged out of your session.";

	    }

	}



This is not my site so I don't have an option to debug and I am no java expert. I am running 8.01.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

<QUOTE>Sandra, you could try the Firebug add-on tool for Firefox and 

track/debug each step and variable.  There are a couple 'how to' instructional videos on how to use it.

<QUOTE>Unfortunately, there is also a test for the navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer".  I pulled all the code from the temporary internet folder so I am looking to recreate the webpages without some of the checks and debug it from there.  I was just hoping someone knew why the variable test was working in the OLE before I had to go to this step.  Thanks again for the heads up on the Firefox debugger.
