The only way I've seen is to put a long trail of dots like

this after things. not sure if it works for a series of   though.

This is the one Anthony Baratta sent me - works great :-)

// popWindow function by Anthony Baratta, Opens new window in centre of
screen
// to call: <a
href="javascript:popWindow('./popup.html','_winName','230','180','scrollbars
=no,resize=no');">Click</a>
function popWindow(theURL,winName,winWidth,winHeight,otherFeatures)
{
   var x = 0;
   var y = 0;
   x = (screen.availWidth - 12 - winWidth) / 2;
   y = (screen.availHeight - 48 - winHeight) / 2;
   if (otherFeatures != "") {otherFeatures = "," + otherFeatures}
   var features = "screenX=" + x + ",screenY=" + y + ",width=" + winWidth +
",height=" + winHeight+",top="+y+",left="+x+"'" + otherFeatures
   var NewWindow = window.open(theURL,winName,features);
   NewWindow.focus();
}
