Since you are asking in the HTML section, I will give you the HTML answer:
HTML Code:
<a href="whatever.htm" target="_blank">Link Text or Image Tag</a>
Unfortunately, even something as innocent as this can be blocked by pop up blockers, and you have even less control over the characteristics of the new window than with javascript.
With javascript, you can tailor many things about your new window. However, this is no guarantee against being blocked or having your settings overridden.
A script like the one I believe I mentioned to you before is superior because it can only be blocked by disabling javascript entirely - something few people do. It will degrade well if blocked and has other advantages.
