Do you mean something like this? <a href="javascript:var handle=window.open('http://www.example.com')">Example</a> Code (markup):
A more robust method: <a href="some.html" onclick="return !window.open(this.href);">somewhere</a> Code (markup): If javascript is on and opens the window, all is well. If javascript is on and fails to open the window, the link will fire normally. If javascript is off, the link fires normally. cheers, gary
