I think it only works in NS > and not in IE (or vice versa). Try: > > target="_new" Well that will actually work because it is the name of a window that is not currently available. The behavior in IE and NS are the same: if you specify a target that doesn't exist it will open in a new window. I wouldn't use "_" as the first character of the name of the window, as those are supposed to be reserved for the browser defined windows "_top", "_parent", "_blank", etc. -k
