[Javascript] get link to execute script rather than load page

[Lau]

That's what I'm already doing and the HREF='#'  part forces the original
page to scroll to the top of the page... this is what I'm trying to avoid...
if they are at the bottom of the page I want them to stay there after
they've closed the newly opened window.


thanks
Lau
