    The href attribute of the <a> tag is correctly showing up in the address line of your new window. The real question is why do you need such a link defined? You'll need to provide a bit more code...(hopefully some of it will be Perl)...to get more detailed help

    I'm confused. Is this an issue with some code you're writing that gereates a URL that spawns a new IE window? Or is it an issue with your Windows box such that ever time you click on a link you get the extra window? Does it happen with Netscape? Is it every link, almost every link, or is it specific to a web site?

    If it's a code question, we'll need far more information. If it's a browser/OS question, it's probably either your browser settings or you have some spyware on your machine. Download and run Ad Aware and see what you get.

    I have used a lot of links like that with javascript onclick events, I usually kludge it with href="#" (does nothing!)
