I have a function that pops up window in the center and I want it to have a vertical scrollbar.

function popUpCal()
{
    var url = "calendar_flight_maint.php";
    var width = 700;
    var height = 600;
    var left = parseInt((screen.availWidth/2) - (width/2));
    var top = parseInt((screen.availHeight/2) - (height/2));
    var windowFeatures = "width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",status,resizable,left=" + left + ",top=" + top + "screenX=" + left + ",screenY=" + top;
window.open(url, "subWind", windowFeatures, "POS", "toolbar=no", "scrollbars=1");
}

I have tried scrollbars=yes, scrollbars=auto, scrollbars=1 but the scrollbars still aren't appearing. Is there something wrong with my code? I'm using Firefox 21.0 and I've already tested it in IE 8. What seems to be the problem?

As seen in the specs for window.open, your parameters are wrong. Try this:

function popUpCal()
{
    var url = "calendar_flight_maint.php";
    var width = 700;
    var height = 600;
    var left = parseInt((screen.availWidth/2) - (width/2));
    var top = parseInt((screen.availHeight/2) - (height/2));
    var windowFeatures = "width=" + width + ",height=" + height +   
        ",status,resizable,left=" + left + ",top=" + top + 
        "screenX=" + left + ",screenY=" + top + ",scrollbars=yes";

    window.open(url, "subWind", windowFeatures, "POS");
}
