JavaScript Open New Window

This little form is so you can open a new window with the relevant properties, it also displays the appropriate javascript for the link, and for the script code.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- //
function wo(url, name, bits) {
newWin=window.open(url, name, bits);
newWin.focus();
}
// -->
</script>

Okay, the url is obviously the url of the new page you want to open in a window, name is whatever you want to call it, so you can refer to it later to other pages in the same window. the bits are a string of comma delimited featres to be used in the new window. Do not put spaces after the commas. I'll just mention the most popular cross browser (IE/NN) features.
