opening a new window....not a tab

Need a way to open a link in an entirely new window.
Using the "target" attribute only creates a new tab. Regardless of
which value I try. I can live with it but I'd prefer the entire new
window.

So what's the best way of doing this?
Nothing online yet but may have later.

If there were a way to do this, it would piss me off quick. I prefer tabs,
not windows, so I've set my browsers to use tabs in preference.

If a site were able to force new windows to open, I would not use that
site.

Sorry, but it's _my_ browser -- not yours.

Just asking. I can live with it opening in a tab which is basically a
new window.

I hate tabs. Tabs suck. The only good tab is a dead tab. Whoever
invented tabs should burn in hell for all eternity.

We agree here.

If you compare Earth to any other inhabited planet, it's no contest...

That would be Opera, my favorite browser... >8-O

Well not really, no. It's a new tab in the same window, as I'm sure you
know. :-) I currently have nine tabs open in Opera. If a link forced
another Opera window to pop open, that would irritate the heck out of me.
What the hell do I need another window for?

Anyway, the answer to your original question is no, there's no way to
force a new window AFAIK. Browser preferences determine that behavior.

Is there a problem with new windows?

Only when I've instructed my browser not to open any. ;-)

Besides, everybody knows that people who like new windows are communists.

In who's browser? If it is your own you are asking about, there is sure
to be a setting in your options or preferences for the browser. For
example in my FF I have an option to "open new pages in the "current
window", "a new tab" or "a current tab".

As an author, your choices are between simply marking the link in a
special way or not marking it. This marking is associated with the
historical practice of new windows springing into life when marked as
target="_blank". But these days, the choices for browsers are so great
that author can only be reasonably sure that most people will have the
link *not* open in the current window.

Using the "target" attribute only creates a new tab. Regardless of
