hi there,  
this function should open me a pop-up window with a set of strings passed in the location var.

With firefox have no problem, but IE Ⓜ gives me an error on the bottom bar without opening anything.  
Here belowe the code wich is on the button:

[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#0000bb]on [/COLOR]COLOR=#007700 {  
[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff8000]//customize the window that gets opened

// 1 equals YES.
