popup window changes host page to [object]

[mmac]

When I use this command in a webpage

Response.Write "<a
href=""javascript:window.open('events/EventDetails.asp?EventID=" &
theEventID & "' )"">" & theLinkText & "</a>"

I get the new window to open but it also affects the "host" window. The
"host" window is left with the word "[object]" in it.

If I refresh the window that says [object] the new window opens again.

Why and how can I make the new window open without affecting the previous
one?

This would be a javascript/client-side question having nothing to do with
asp.
<a href="javascript........" onClick="return false;">I think that's
right</a>

OK, I am still trying to figure out where asp and the javascript begins ..
I'll look that direction.
Thanks you for the help.
Do you know where a javascript NG can be found?
