Having some trouble with JS pop-up

Hello

I have a link on my Home page that is supposed to open a pop-up window (a HTML page smaller than the Homepage and you should see the Homepage behind the pop-up).

When I click on the link on my Home page, I do get taken to the HTML pop-up page but the dimensions of that page are ignored. This is what I have in my Home page:

Code:
</script>

<script>
function myFunction() {
    window.open("Domestic_Violence.asp", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");
}
window.onload = function() {
  document.getElementById('myLink').onclick = myFunction();
}
</script>

</head>

And the link looks like this:

HTML:
<li><a href="Domestic_Violence.asp" id="myLink" target="_blank">Domestic Violence</a></li>

These dimensions - top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400 - referred to above, are ignored: I can see a full-screen page.

I have also placed the JS code in its own external file and references it in my Home page <head> tags as follows:

Code:
<script src="myPopup.js"></script>

but it makes no difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Oh and target="_blank" opens a normal sized window.
