window position with window.open

I'm trying to open a window in a specific position of the screen with this
script:

window.open('window.htm','mywindow','width=250,hei ght=350,screenX=20,screenY
=100')

it works with Netscape 6.2 but Internet Explorer and Opera just seem to
ignore the XY coordinates.

Any idea on how to make it work?

Thanks!

Internet Explorer and Opera use "top" and "left" attributes instead of "screenY"
and "screenX". So for maximum browser compatibility, include them all:

window.open('window.htm','mywindow','width=250,hei ght=350,screenX=20,screenY=100,left=20,top=100');

I'd also strongly suggest you upgrade to Netscape 7.11, Netscape 6.2 has a
number of bugs which could make it appear that currently valid JavaScript isn't
working right.
