Forcing tool area link popup to open using javascript

22 Views

Hello all

I have modified my "tool area" iView so that a link appears next to the search box. Below is the line in the jsp file:

<A href="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/../iv_directoryLookup" target="new" class="prtlToolAreaTaskText" title="<%=exampleLink1TooltipStr%>"><%=exampleLink1TextStr%></A></TD>

Currently, this works fine, but we were wondering if we can make it pop up using javascript, i.e. without IE toolbar/statusbar?

I tried changing the URL to javascript:open('...<same address as above>...'), but this gives me a "page cannot be displayed" IE error.

Any ideas? I'm sure there is a simple solution...
