click a button to open an external window = fine  
moving this new window to a specified position using window.moveto = doesn’t work.

My favourite quote. Bugger!!

between \<head\>\</head\> tags in the html page that is to be called when you press the button I have the following code…

```auto

< **** script language="JavaScript">
win **** dow.moveTo(0, 0);
< **** /script>

```

this doesn’t seem to be working at all. Do I need some better code or just to tweek this one. My brain tells me that this SHOULD work, where am I going wrong?! For an example please go to [http://www.brakesint.co.uk](http://www.brakesint.co.uk) and click the big green BUY ONLINE button. Cheers!

This also seems to work, I’ve been playing. After the first coordinate remove the space after the comma, so instead of…

\<script language=“JavaScript”\>  
window.moveTo(0, 0);  
\</script\>

Try using this code withouth the space after the comma…

\<script language=“JavaScript”\>  
window.moveTo(0,0);  
\</script\>

I’ve tested it on all the computers in this building and its working fine now. A simple space caused me so much troulble!! \*\*\*\*!!

The space doesnt make any difference for me.
