Opening a Customized New Window in FrontPage 2002

[Juho Manka]

I want to open a customized new window. I'm using the following javascript code

<a href="javascript:window.open('whatever.htm', null, 'height=300, width=550, directories=no, location=no, menubar=no, resizable=no, status=no, toolbar=no');">Pop goes the window!</a

This does open a new customized window, but the old (parent) page changes as well and loads a blank page that say
[object] on it

How can I open a customized new window without changing the page in the current window? The [object] page seems to be some sort of error

....And no I can't use spawn because I'm using a computer on which I don't have the rights to install any new programs.

Add a void(0) call to the end of your javascript
expression, as in:

<a href="javascript:window.open('whatever.htm', null,
'height=300, width=550, directories=no, location=no,
menubar=no, resizable=no, status=no, toolbar=no');
void(0);">Pop goes the window!</a>
