Change this line:
document.write('<a href=\"' + url + '\" target=\"_top\">');

To this:
document.write('<a href=\"' + url + '\" target=\"_new\">');

_new? I think that should be _blank. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#h-6.16

I have used both _new and _blank and they both work the same. I have used them in different browsers with no problems.

Generally, any target that the browser does not find (if used with frames)/understand will result in a new window. But, as far as I know, there is nothing that says they have to, so I'd use the correct version, which is target="_blank" (In transitional and frameset -- in strict, the target attribute has been depreciated).

Yep - your right. I did some test and found that I could name it anything and it would work. Not sure where I got the "_new" from. I have been using if for quite a while now. Must have tried it once and since it worked assumed it was alright. Thanks for the info. :)
