open a new "_blank" page w/a specified size and position 2

[leegold2]

Using the code:

<a href="details.php?id=6" target="_blank">NEPP</a>

There's php in the mix but I think this is an html question. The page opens directly on top and exactly the same size as the parent.

Is there an html or css way to get the _blank page to open with a specificed size and position . ie. smaller and to the side so the parent's not obscurred.

Thanks,
Lee G.

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('details.php?id=6','myNewWindow','top=20,left=20,width=800,height=600'); return false;">NEPP</a>

Better like this:

<a href="details.php?id=6" target="_blank"  onClick="window.open(this.href,'myNewWindow','top=20,left=20,width=800,height=600'); return false;">NEPP</a>

That way, visitors with Javascript switched off (the Google spider, for example) will still be able to follow your link, albeit without the sizing & positioning (that are only possible with Javascript).

So what I want to do is only possible with scripting? That's OK as long as people w/scripting turned-off can get the content as well...
