The new Javascript (popup) update, works a treat

Good Work !

Noticed, its not very Internet Explorer friendly.

Perhaps theres a FIX

It opens the popup, then closes main window, then we get a warning... any suggestions please

Getting the same problem with IE - the error message and the page goes to not found. So doesn't really work. Can this be fixed?

I swear by FF but some users still use IE.

Id imagine its just some js conflict.

Will have a look at the code, and see if I can fix it myself Will post back

Which version are you using? The one with local javascript or the one with the remote?
