Open URL script problem on FM Server Advance 8

Open URL Script can't execute on FM7 Files published on FM Server Advance 8 using IWP. My remote PC running Win XPSP2, using IE6.0 Browser, can access the published FM File but cannot execute 'Open URL' Scripts. Using Firefox instead of IE also shows same result. However, if the FM Publishing Engine and FM Server 8 is turned off, and the same FM File is published on the same Remote Server (Win 2003) using the FM File's IWP Sharing turned on, the Open URL Script works just fine. On another PC running similar Win XP OS, does not have this problem with 'Open URL' Scripts published on FM Server 8 Advance. Question is why can't my PC execute FM 'Open URL' scripts on FM Published Files on FM Server Advance 8 while some PC's can ?

Is FMS and FMSA patched to the latest level? There have been a couple of updates released recently.

Yup. Latest update have been installed. The FMS is now on 8V2 and FMSA is now on 8v1a.

On some browsers, having "popup blockers" turned ON will block the OpenURL command. Also, you need to have JavaScript enabled for most of the IWP things to work at all...

Maybe those PCs are blocking certain JavaScript commands?
