In Internet Explorer, scripts can open two different types of windows and can resize and reposition existing windows.

These restrictions include constraints on new Internet Explorer windows created by the window.open method and HTML pop-up windows created by the window.createPopup method, and positioning and sizing of Internet Explorer windows. By understanding Window Restrictions and how they work, you can write your scripts so that your Web pages function as expected.
