Symptoms

Assume that you design a webpage to put pop-up windows in a fixed location on the screen. When a user uses Microsoft Edge to view the webpage, pop-up windows are positioned incorrectly near the upper-left corner of the main browser window.

For example, this problem may occur if you use HTML that resembles the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Main Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
      <button type="button" onclick="window.open('https://www.bing.com', 'myPopup', 'top=100, left=100')">Click</button>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

When this problem occurs, a pop-up window is created near the upper-left corner of the main window when a user clicks the button. You expect the pop-up window to be created in the position that is defined by the top and left coordinates in your HTML.

Status
