james, :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ : From: James Aylard : : I haven't tested this exhaustively, but in : IE 5 using "_blank" as the target window will : open up a new window every time the link is : clicked, even if a previous window has not : been closed. :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _blank is a special value for the target attribute. it's intended purpose is to open a new window without a name. every browser i've ever tested follows this behavior. hope this helps, .jeff name://jeff.howden game://web.development http://www.evolt.org/ mailto:jeff at members.evolt.org
