Open in new window & Firefox

    Can anyone enlighten me as to how to create a hyperlink that will open in a new window within Firefox.

    Target="_blank" seems to work in ie7 but causes firefox to open in a new tab rather a new window. I am looking to create a floating window for terms and conditions etc.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    I have my Firefox options set to open new windows in tabs but many websites still get things like terms and conditions to open in a separate window on my system without any input from me.

    I think that they are using javascript to force the desired result but I don't know how.

    Nothing wrong with something opening up in a new tab anyway. : ) People will read it if they want.

    If it's a link to somewhere else, I'd rather just use a normal link (send the user to the new page they've clicked on). When they want to go back, they'll hit the back button.

    it works but not in the way that I want it to and I see other people doing exactly what I want.

    Don't you just hate to fail where others are succeeding ;)
