If you use # in the href, you break usability and accessibility, and for no reason. It is a few extra characters to put the url in the href and this.href in the function instead of # in the href and the url in the function. For that tiny bit of extra effort, you ensure that your content is NEVER unavailable, on any browser, for any user.

Thank you all for your help. I very much appreciate it. Out of curiousity, why not use the # in the href?

Thanks again!

Oh please, please don't link to the #...

Use the right hyperlink in the href and in the function use that hyperlink:

<a href="original_page" onClick="window.open(this.href,'alwaysNameTheWindow','status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');return false;">Click Here</a>

See the link for all the parts you have access to. You don't need to specify "no" to anything, it's all "no" by default.

I would recommend Brooke's method of using the onClick, however, for the href you can simply link to #.

Also, in the onclick, you do NOT need the javascript: at the beginning. I would also add after the semicolon return false;. If I remember right, reutning a false value should cause the browser to not even execute the HREF part. I could be wrong, it was a few years ago I learned all of that

I might be wrong - but don't you have to have a link to the original page and then the open window link?

Try that...
