I just barely got around to trying this code today. Again, what I'm trying to attempt is a cross browser way of opening a NEW window if an existing browser window is already open.

The code above works fine for IE 6. However, Mozilla doesn't understand the passed $url to the system command above. Thus, I get one window with Mozilla saying it couldn't find %1, and then another window with the actual URL correctly thrown in.

Sigh. Ah twell.
