  pop up window with relative link problem

  Hi,
  
  I am having problems with pop up windows that should show html files uploaded to the system. I am using javascript to open the file, which is relatively linked (onclick="window.open('windows/pB.htm','pB','width=400,height=300')" ).
  Interestingly it works perfectly with Firefox, however with IE I receive an error message (The page cannot be found).
  
  I am curious if anybody encountered with the similar problem and if by chance knows a workaround.
  
  Ps. giving absolute link is not an option since we want to put the course content later on CD too.
  I also attach the exported course page for review.
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  Tamas

  What is in the attachment? Don't attach exe files. We won't open them.
  
  Use the path variables mentioned in the developer documentation to create absolute paths. You probably need to use the $_base_href variable in front of your relative paths, though within content you should always use a relative path on its own.
