window.open("Sample.htm",null,    "height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");

Note, the null after the filename and remove all spaces between commas (taken from Microsoft's website, so it must work with IE).

As I mentioned somewhere else around here before, the WindowName portion of the open call should only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z,0-9) or underscores (_).

eg. "edit_av" should be changed to either "edit av", "editAv" or similar...

 

Also, as Tyssen and MarCrush suggest, the comma separated list of WindowFeatures must not contain any spaces between options.

 

Notice from Rejected:

Changed "edit av" to "edit_av"

It is always nice to have an existing library of functions to serve your needs, and this is one of mine:

function OpenSubWin( page, w, h, sb ){  var sw = screen.width, sh = screen.height;   var ulx = ((sw-w)/2), uly = ((sh-h)/2);   var sbt = (sb==1) ? 'yes' : 'no';   var paramz = 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars='+sbt+',width='+w+',height='+h+'';   var oSubWin = window.open( "", "SubWin", paramz );   oSubWin.moveTo( ulx, uly );   oSubWin.location.replace( page );}

It not only simplifies the task of opening a new sub-window, but it also centers the sub-window on the users screen!

I hope that helps, enjoy!

Popup centeringJavascript Window.open

For centering the popup without a visible movement add this syntax in features on window.Open 'left='+((screen.Width-w)/2)+',top='+((screen.Height-h)/2)and remove "oSubWin.MoveTo( ulx, uly );"

or this function from SystemWisdom modified  

function OpenSubWin( page, w, h, sb ){    var sw = screen.Width, sh = screen.Height;   var ulx = ((sw-w)/2), uly = ((sh-h)/2);   var sbt = (sb==1) ? 'yes' : 'no';   var paramz = 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars='+sbt+',width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+ulx+',top='+uly;   var oSubWin = window.Open( "", "SubWin", paramz );  oSubWin.Location.Replace( page );}
