I want my users to be able to click a radio button to open a new window. Right now, it doesn't open a new window it just goes to the URL right in the same browser window when they click on the radio button.

I'm calling a window.open function onClick, which I assumed would result in the URL opening in a new window like normal.

Is it not possible to use radio button clicks to open new windows? If so, what's the trick?

Without seeing what code you've done so far it's pretty much impossible to tell you what you're doing wrong.

Here's a minimalist example of a radio button that opens up google in a new window when clicked. It work fine in both IE and FF so I'm not sure what could be wrong with your code:
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head>
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
[purple]<script type="text/javascript">
function blah() {
   var a = window.open("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com");[/URL]
}
</script>[/purple]
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body>

<input type="radio" [purple]onclick="blah()"[/purple] />Click me

</body>
</html>

I think I just had a syntax error in mine. I switched it around to your code and it works perfectly. Thanks!
