I copied that directly from one of my websites which works everytime. IE5,
NN6 and up on Mac and UNIX, it works just fine. Anyone with Sun's Java

He was asking to solve a target=_blank problem and target=_anything is
gone in HTML 4 specs.
As for Rude, are you the Rude Police? Popping up stupid little adds is
rude. Popping up information is not.
I don't care to go to your website to see your point there only needs to be
one standards organization. Funny too that having a visible close button
with an access key access and speakable meets all requirements
