Javascript problem, get "error on page"

Question

Hey!
Hope someone can help me with this. I am trying to open a document in a new browser window using javascript, but all I get is error on page.
In my javascript code file, the functino is like this:
function openPage(user)
var newWindow = window.open("","New Page","toolbar=no,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,left=0,top=0,screenX=0,screenY=0, width=800,height=400");
newWindow.location.href="../reports/"+user+"/newPage.html";
I call the function in my JSP like this:
<a href="JavaScript:openPage(<%=user.getUserName()%>)">New Page</a>
I can't get it right, hope someone else can, or tell me an other way to do it...
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried doing the same thing the way you are trying but could not get it to work. Now I use the following code and it works fine.
function showNewPage(user)
var str = "../reports/" + user + "/newPage.html";
window.open(str, 'winName', config='height=375,width=650,screenX=100,left=100,screenY=100,top=100,channelmode=0,dependent=0,directories=0,fullscreen=0,location=1,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=1,status=0,toolbar=1');
If this doesn't work it might be how you are building your url.
Hope this helps
