Answer 1

Plain HTML does not support this. You'll need to use some Javascript.

Also, note that large parts of the world are using a popup blocker nowadays. You may want to reconsider your design!

Answer 2

This should work

<a href="javascript:window.open('document.aspx','mywindowtitle','width=500,height=150')">open window</a>

Answer 3

You might want to consider using a div element pop-up window that contains an iframe.

JQuery Dialog is a simple way to get started. Just add an iframe as the content.

Answer 4

since many browsers block popups by default and popups are really ugly I recommend using lightbox or thickbox they are prettier and are not popups they are extra html markups that are appended to your document's body with the appropriate CSS
