Opening a new window is a behaviour.

HTML for content
Stylesheet for appearance
Javascript for behaviour

Usually, I think there is no cause to open in a new window - but just occasionally there is. You can use javascript, or you can simply use target="_blank" and accept a validation failure. Either way, warn vistors that a new window will be opened.

IIRC, default settings of IE7 block new window opening, without the user's explicit consent, and FF2 by default opens up a new tab.
