From a CGI script, you can use the `Window-Target` HTTP header. `print <<'HTTP'; Location: $page Window-target: new HTTP` [download] -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com> Subscribe to The Perl Review	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Just a few notes on style. While this technique should in many cases work, target is a deprecated attribute (not valid XHTML, so use a transitional DOCTYPE, or none). Opening new windows is generally frowned on due to its poor showing in UI usability testing. If you must, it's considered best practice to add a phrase near the link text indicating "opens in a new window", which you might do as part of the link's title attribute. UPDATE: /me kicks self, mumbles. If I could vote I would obviously have to ++ brian for you know, actually answering the OP's question.	[reply]
