Popup works in Firefox2 but not in IE6

[paulcj2]

The following JavaScript works in Firefox 2, but not in IE6. Is this a known bug in IE? The page validates in Firefox, but shows some unknown "Error on page" in IE. Please advise

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
        var newwindow;
        function showinterview(url, name)
        {
            newwindow=window.open(url,name,'height=500,width=550,left=500,top=350,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');
            if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
        }
    // -->
</script>

<a href="javascript:showinterview('/article/381/','ytt-interview-meghan');"><img src="/uploads/images/896722366_YTT_Meghan_qt.jpg" alt="Meghan Miller YTT Interview" hspace="20" vspace="20" border="0" align="right" /></a>

From memory, I believe that I.E. does not accept hyphens in window titles.
If you cllick on the yellow triangle, I.E. it will display some sort of (often inadequate) explanation of the error.
You can lose the <!-- //--> comments, they are obsolete, and the language attribute is deprecated.

Thanks Logic Ali,

Changing the hyphens to underbars did the trick.
