Passing query string to JS window.open in IE7 doesn't work?

Question

I can run the following via the address bar in Firefox just fine:

javascript:window.open("http://my.hostname.com/test.php?id=12345", "exportWindow");

When I print_r($_GET), I see the $_GET array with the values I specified in the URL. But when I do so in IE7, it just prints "null" on screen.

EDIT

Turns out that was due to a popup blocker. However, the actual code that uses that snipped doesn't work--I get Array() in IE when print_r-ing:

  $Page->addJQuery('$("#pageForm div.export").click(function() { ' . $jQueryVars . 'window.open("' . $this->getUrl() . '"' . $jQueryParams . ', "exportWindow"); return false; });');

Answer 1

IE is blocking the popup. The 'null' you see is the return value of the JavaScript call. Turn off the popup blocker and it should work.

Answer 2

Turns out that for SOME REASON I needed to use .live("click", function() rather than .click(function(). No idea why, as I use .change in several other places which works in IE...but it fixed the problem, nevertheless.

Answer 3

It turned out that I needed to use jQuery's .live rather than .click.
