How to programmatically open a new browser window

[Alice]

If I have a browser already up and I wish to
open a link, I want to open this link in another
browser window, how can I do?

Thanks for your help!

Hold the shift key down while clicking on the link.

Brian,

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't solve my problem.
I would like to put it in my program, I can't tell
all users to hold the shift key and then click on the url.

or how can I pass this thing in my html?

you have two ways:
1º- you can add to your a href a target property
< s href="xpto.html" target="_blank" > link < \a >
2º- you can add javascript to do it
< a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open
('xpto.html', 'windowname', 'windowparameters');return
false;" > link < \a >

(all the html is without the spaces...)

Hi Tiago,

Thanks for the response. This works, but I was
wondering if we could pass the window size parameters
directly. 'cause I have to pass the url as hyperlink
in a word document, so I can't program it.

Thanks again,
Alice

You could try the JScript window.open method:

window.open( url, name, (opts, (replace)))

example: window.open("http://www.msn.com", "",
"width=300,height=800")

There are more options, but I these two I remember.
