Not with HTML. You will have to resort to javascript for that:
This will open in a new 100x100 window for people with JS enabled and a normal new window for the rest.
Code:
<a href= "a.html" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('a.html','mywindow','width=100,height=100';">Link</a>- Thread starter

Yes. Add the location parameters in with width and height
There is a different set that works for NS, but those above work for IE.
Hope it helps.
Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

The problem with that, vongrunt, is that people (and search engines) with Javascript switched off won't get the link to work.
Here's how to do it:
Now, if you have Javascript switched on, the [tt]window.open[/tt] command opens the new window, and the [tt]return false;[/tt] causes the <a> tag to fail - so it doesn't open a second new window.
If Javascript is switched off, the [tt]onclick[/tt] event is ignored, so the link is opened in a new window because of the [tt]target[/tt] attribute, albeit without the nice window sizing.
This approach obeys the golden rule for Javascript: Use JS to enhance the user experience, don't make it a compulsory component of it.

Tried this code and the prev suggestions from Von and it gives me an invalid argument error when I click on the code.
Also I use Vbscript and asp, and I am writing this out as a string.
Here's what I have in the ViewCode section of the page
<A Href='./dir1/page.asp?sess_id=12' target='_blank' title='List of all students enrolled for this class' onclick="javascript:window.open('this.href','List of Trainees','width=100,height=100');return false; "> View </A>
Any ideas why I am getting a error. The new page does open, but it doesn't show the right dimensions. Looks like the href is getting executed but not the window.open script.
Any ideas pls let me know.
Thanks

try List_of_Trainees instead of List of Trainees for the popup window name. It might not like the spaces.

News and views of some obscure guy
I am using VBScript on all my pages, so I guess Javascritp is needed.
Anyways, my page is opening without any scrollbars, it cannot be resized and the maximize button is disabled.
Here's the code :-
onclick="&"""javascript:window.open(this.href,'ListofTrainees',resizeable=1,scrollbars=1)
Any help appreciated.

Once you start specifying window attributes in the window.open(...) command, all non-named attributes default to 0 or off or none or whatever. Therefore, you will need to specify which ones you want when calling window.open(...). Here is a link to available attributes:
