Invalid Argument with IE

[Steve]

I wrote this function to open a pop-up window and it works great on
every browser except IE.
IE gives an 'Invalid Argument' error on this line: var w =
window.open(theURL,winName,features);

<script language="JavaScript">

function openWindow(theURL,winName,features)

{

try

{

if
(document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_tax.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_mhc.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_edu.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_bor.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_sen.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_das.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_eth.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== 'e_dys.pdf' ||


document.SectionE.list.options[document.SectionE.list.selectedIndex].value
== '')


{

var w =
window.open(theURL,winName,features);

var posX =
(screen.availWidth - 800) / 2;

var posY =
(screen.availHeight - 600) / 2;

w.moveTo(posX,posY)

}

}

catch(err)

{

}

}

</script>

I will show the call also:

Changes','toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=300,height=100')"

I found the problem. IE didn't like having a space in the winName.
