Opening new window in HTML for target blank

Question

lt a href  facebook com sharer  target   blank   gt Share this lt  a gt    How do I make this a certain width and height  in a new window  when the user clicks on  it  In firefox  the current code only opens up a new tab  not a new window

To open in a new windows with dimensions and everything, you will need to call a JavaScript function, as target="_blank" won't let you adjust sizes. An example would be:

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'mywin',
'left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0'); return false;" >Share this</a>

Hope this helps you.

You can t influence neither type  tab window  nor dimensions that way  You ll have to use JavaScript s window open   for that

You don t have that kind of control with a bare a tag  But you can hook up the tag s onclick handler to call window open      with the right parameters  See here for examples  https   developer mozilla org En DOM Window open  I still don t think you can force window over tab directly though-- that depends on the browser and the user s settings
