Topic awaiting preservation: copyhistory=no (Page 1 of 1)

Hmm....Hi, guys.
Would you know what is copyhistory=no?
This come from

<script type="text/javascript">

   function popup(){

    window.open("mayu.htm", toolbar=no, location=yes, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, 



copyhistory=no, width="180", height="240", top="50" left="50");

    }

 </script>

What does it do???

No matches neither on the W3Sschools nor on the global W3C website.

I've tested it on a webpage, this syntax is valid HTML 4.01... But on the page I applied it, it didn't do anything. I guess my proxy is blockig the window.open function as it is used by pop-ups. This script is clearly one of a pop up : it launches a window with a specific size, removes the menubar and status window... I don't know exactly what does this copyhistory, but maybe it is used in pop-ups to remove the adresses from the url bar ?

PS: If someone wants to test it, don't forget to add the missing "," between top and left

it's probably an IE-only thing that won't copy the page to your 'History'..

It might well mean that the new window wont remember if you have you history bar open.

I *think* that is means the history for the particular window you're opening is empty. The opposite of when you hit CTRL+N and it opens the new window with the same history as the original window.

Have you tried it with copyhistory=yes ???
