    The function I'm using is simply:

    function HelpPage(src, width, height)
    {
     var PortraitWindow = window.open(src, "HelpPage", "width=" + width +
    ",height=" + height + ",left=200,top=100, title=no,
    resizable=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,menubar=no");
     PortraitWindow.focus();
     return false;
    }

    And I tried call it using onload="return HelpPage('HelpPage.htm', '400',
    '500') in the body tag and by calling it between the body tags. Both work
    on IE5.5 and not on both IE6's.

    If, having loaded the page, I call the function with onclick in say an input
    submit type, it works in IE6.

    Can't find any pop-up blockers. Not sure what you're looking for when you
    ask what's different about IE6 other than the version of IE.

    One difference is that Norton Anti-Virus is installed on both the IE6
    machines, but not on the IE5. But how is it the onclick works and the
    onload doesn't?
