Does anyone know the code so when you click a link a new window pops up?

search the google for HTML tutorials....

its called an anchor tag that allows you to target documents.

A tutorial will explaing this.

<a href="http://www.w3.org" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'height=400,width=300'); return false">W3C</a>

And see http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/window.html#1202731 for details.

If you don't want to use javascript you can also use the target property like this:
<a href="http://www.w3.org" target="_new">W3C</a>

or:

<a href="http://www.w3.org" target="_blank">W3C</a>

The drawback of course is that you don't have control over the window properties such as height and width.
