I cannot figure out why when I call the sub view_onclick, it opens in a new window?
I have re-written this many times in different ways.
can some one explain what I am missing here.
thanks,
Tin

What browser are you using? in IE7 its staying in the same window. This sounds like a browser setting. Tools-->Internet Options-->Tab Settings

Thanks TNO
I'm using IE6, I'll look at the settings.
For clarification, I suppose it's not a new window as in a second window pops up.
as soon as I click the "view" button the results of the selection from the drop down ( window.document.write("<br />" & strPrefxone & "<br />" & strPrefxtwo) )are displayed on a blank page and the drop down's are gone.

thanks,
Tin

I'm back with no success.
onclick of the view button, the drop downs disappear and the document.write statement writes on a blank white page.
I do not know why, it's very frustrating.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me please.
Thanks,
Tin.

window.document.write("<br />" & strPrefxone & "<br />" & strPrefxtwo)

change that portion to something like this:

document.getElementById("some Element").innerHTML("<br />" & strPrefxone & "<br />" & strPrefxtwo)

Thanks again TNO
I googled innerhtml and figured out how I can use that for what I was trying to achieve.
Although I do not understand why the document.write wiped my page clean and then wrote the 2 variables I have trying to display.

Why wouldn't the document.write statement simply just write the 2 variables under the dropdowns instead of wiping the page clean and then writing the variables.

Thanks.
Tin
