var Trough = parseInt(BarLength - iLength);

See http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jwinopen.htm
I believe the line that might interest you is: 'remove any whitespace for netscape'.

you need to use Window02.document.open() before there is a valid document to write to in netscape and mozilla.

Thanks for your reply.
I added Window02.document.open() before Window02.document.write
but it doesn't help. If i remove the Window02.close() then I see that after sometime it displays the last position of the progress bar in the window. I read somewhere that this could be a multithreading issue and javascript doenot support multithreading.
Is there any other way a progressbar can be displayed ,it neednot be in a popup window?
