Redirect to _blank without using target

How do I use java to redirect a user to another (external) site with a new window when they click on an image.

I can't use _target as it doesn't validate.

it doesn't validate because it is a bad thing (i hate new windows. i use tabs, thank you very much, and i like to decide when i open a new one, thank you very much again).

you can either play nice and validate, or play whatever you want, and (naturally) not validate. everything else is pointless..

Try this:
window.open();
You can also use target attribute. You simply open your page which does validation and use header location to redirect. If you need to do this with links, I have a code ready.

Okay I have code... and I'm prepared to use it:

- just for everyone else :
function newwindow(link, x, y) {
window.open(link, 'Edit','width='+x+',height='+y+',toolbar=0,directo ries=0,menubar=0,status=0,resizable=0,location=0,s crollbars=yes,copyhistory=0');
}

<a href="javascript:newwindow('http://www.codewalkers',770,502)">codewalkers</a>


I don't NEED to validate - but I'd like too.

I can't validate as I'm using php4 and it appends &PHPSESSID to the url's - this won't validate -
So I wonder the point of it all myself.
