[Javascript] window.open problem

Try this.
<A HREF="#" onClick="javascript:window.open('somepage','','height=550,
width=300,scrollbars=yes,status=no,
toolbars=no,top=10,left=50');return false;">somevalue</A>

I would eliminate the spaces between the single quotes. I believe that's a
no-no and netscape won't behave the way you would like.
