Popups window without javascript or _target?

Is there a way to open a new window without using js

[bpresent]

I know how to create a new window (a popup with no nav buttons etc) using javascript, and I know how to open a new window using the basic <a href=URL _target="blank"> etc.... I have also read about pure css popups (which appear to be just text strings - neat as these are).... but....

Is there a way to open a new window with a new url without using javascript....?

I guess an associated question is: what browsers do not support javascript and why does the W3C link checker make out they are so bad? (perhaps I'll post that one elsewhere?) :)

I don't think there is any other way of opening a new window except for JS or target attribute. I believe XHTML has made the target attribute depricated, so just JS.

One option is using CSS and a hidden div--maybe containing an iframe to link to another url.

Wow - that was quick - i didn't even get time to correct my target="_blank" gaff!

I don't think there is either (and I have posted the question about JS in the HTML Browser forum).

Here is also a thread that may have some answers for you:

AFAIK, no browsers don't support JS. The reason that W3C make it out to be so bad is that search engines don't like it, and any user can disable it.
