Ah yes, well this is where it gets a little different. I am aware of many ways of opening a new window. But this link os coming from the "Links" bar of my browser. Currently I am using JavaScript to grab information about the page you are currently viewing and then sends you to my script: javascript:location.href='http://www.breltech.com/MYSCRIPT.cgi?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)
Really what I would like to have happen on top of this is have it all open in a new window. And I've been having problems doing that. I don't mind if I do this in JavaScript. I just need to find a way to do it.
