<a href="<?php $sess->purl(URL . "?page=$flypage&product_id=" . $db->f("product_id") . "&category_id=" . $db->f("category_id"));?>">
<?php $ps_product->show_image($db->f("product_thumb_image"),"height=100 width=100 hspace=0 vspace=0 alt=\"" . ($db->f("product_s_desc")) . "\"");?>

never mind - figured it out...

<a href="<?php $sess->purl(URL . "?page=$flypage&product_id=" . $db->f("product_id") . "&category_id=" . $db->f("category_id"));?>;" target="_blank"><font class="menu"><b>
<?php $db->p("product_name");?>
</b></font></a>

another quickie --- maybe a bit more difficult to answer...

how would i go about adding new page width / height / scrollbar/ toolbar specs to this?

plan b is to re neme target to top if i cannot get new page size to work...

many thanks

The only way I have done it is with javascript.

<script language="JavaScript">
function showpage() {
window.open("http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.php","showpage","width=800,height=600,toolbar=0,status=0,scrollbars=3,menubar=0");
</script>

This will open a page 800 by 600

Your href then becomes

<a href="javascript:showpage()">
