Nope, my code opens a popup window where the result is a PHP page that
accepts the video URL passed in through the query string and uses that
to create the proper HTML embedding code.

If you just do target="_blank" then you aren't solving the issue... IE
does not like to play videos properly unless they are embedded in
HTML.
