Window Opening

A new window can be opened with a new HTML document. We can use the 'onClick' attribute of the anchor tag to initiate this event.

We use a JavaScript command (window.open) to open the new window with various options:

dependent	ties new window to current window – close current closes new
height	pixel height of window
location	if yes includes location bar
menubar	creates menu bar at top of new window
directories	personal directory bar (what’s new…)
scrollbars	horizontal and vertical scrollbars
status	if yes, add browser status bar
toolbar	if yes, add browser toolbar
width	pixel width of window

Sample code for the link below:

<a HREF="something.html" TARGET="somewindow" onClick="window.open('something.html', 'somewindow', 'width=300, height=200 toolbar=no, status=yes');">Something</a>

Important note: do not forget the commas between elements such as width=300 height=200, if you neglect the comma the attribute may be ignored.
