After an AJAX call to the server,
I wish to display the echoed results
in a pop up window.

Here's the segment handling the echo:

if (http.readyState == 4) {
results = http.responseText.split(",");
sesswin=window.open('sessionwindow.html','sessscr','height=300,width=350');
var tmp = sesswin.document;
tmp.write('<html><head><title>Session Report</title>');
...
tmp.write('</p></body></html>');
tmp.close();
if (window.focus) {tmp.focus()}
}

Why won't this work?
Why is the "tmp = ..." line of code giving me a "undefined value" error?

Thanks for responding poi.

I removed the URL spec but I still come up with a
"sesswin is null" for the line that reads:
var tmp = sesswin.document;

In answer to your question,
I want to display a page with a session's results
once a session has been completed.

I initially thought to go to a new page,
but I could not send to it the parameters I received from the ajax's echo.

So now I think to display the echoed results via a pop up window.

The pop-up window code works when an event handler on the page is
clicked, but for some reason that I haven't figured out yet,
the window.open croaks if invoked on an ajax's echo.
