Having said that, something like:

<a href="copyright.htm" onClick="window.open('',
'copyright','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scro llbar
s=auto,resizable=0,width=310,height=300')" target="copyright">


will still work ok as the default behaviour of the href will generally be
used anyway.

I would advise a couple of changes:


- onClick becomes onclick for xhtml compliance
- don't have the url in two places (can make future updates tricky, and may mean that link checkers don't highlight a broken link, e.g if you change the href part but not the onclick part), so use this.href in the onclick part


<a href="copyright.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href,
'copyright','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrol lbar
s=auto,resizable=0,width=310,height=300')" target="copyright">
