Need help with OnClick used in Anchor and SSL

[Will]

(My 4 questins at end after explination) The code below was provided to me
to "Popup" a window explaining what a Credit Card Verification Number is and
where to find it on a card... it is used as people enter their credit card
info on an ecommerce site. This is the first such site (Shopping Cart) I
have done and this code was provded by a user of the standard ASP Shopping
Cart software (CandyPress shopping cart.)

It works, but I don't think it is good code... but I haven't done ASP in a
long tme.

==========HERE IS THE CODE (FORMATTED FOR EASY READING)============

<a href="<%=urlNonSSL%>Card_Verif_Examp.htm" TITLE="What is Card
Verification Number?"

onClick='window.open("<%=urlNonSSL%>Card_Verif_Exa mp.htm",
"cardverification",
"width=550,
height=610,
resizable=1,
scrollbars=1")

;return false;' target="_blank"> What is Card Verification Number? </a>
========== EASY READING FORMATTED CODE ENDS ========================

========== CODE STARTS - Exactly as it appears in program =====
<a href="<%=urlNonSSL%>Card_Verif_Examp.htm" TITLE="What is Card
Verification Number?"
onClick='window.open("<%=urlNonSSL%>Card_Verif_Exa mp.htm","cardverification"
,"width=550,height=610,resizable=1,scrollbars=1"); return false;'
target="_blank">What is Card Verification Number?</a>

========= CODE ENDS ==================================

QUESTION 1: The code seems redundant to me with the reference to
"Card_Verif_Examp.htm" appearing twice.
QUESTION 2: What is the... TITLE="Bla Bla" part? I'm not familar with that
tag in an Anchor Link.
QUESTION 3: Is there a more simple way to create this code?
QUESTION 4: What is the "cardverification" paramater right after the
onClick='window.open("<%=urlNonSSL%>Card_Verif_Exa mp.htm", ???

thanks for any help on this - Will

You could put in a variable if you like. ?
QUESTION 2: What is the... TITLE="Bla Bla" part? I'm not familar with that
tag in an Anchor Link.
Think of it kinda like an alt-tag or a tool-tip.
QUESTION 3: Is there a more simple way to create this code?
Perhaps, but it's client-side code, so you'd be better off inquiring in a
client-side group, such as m.p.scripting.jscript.
QUESTION 4: What is the "cardverification" paramater right after the
onClick='window.open("<%=urlNonSSL%>Card_Verif_Exa mp.htm", ???

It's an ASP variable, which I imagine is supposed to return a full URL
prefixed with http as opposed to https.
