I suppose someone has already answered you, but if not, here goes:

The other way that you mention is like this:

<a href="#"
onClick="window.open('newWindowsURL.html','windowname','width=200,height=350')">
Click here</a>

Note: this should be all in one line. Be careful with various quote marks.
Note: there are no spaces between the elements of the third parameter
of the window.open (), and there are lots of settings available,
width,height,scrollbars,resizable,menubar,etc,etc,etc

The href="#" defaults to the top of the current page. If you are at midpage,
and want to stay there, you need a named anchor on the page at that point,
and then the href="#anchorname"

Hope this helps,
jimmy
