Opening a New Window with a Redirect?

[Dena Leiter]

I want to send people to a new page using a redirect but I want a new
window to open. Is this possible?

I've tried this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?jn=HBR&db=bch
target=_blank">

but it doesn't open a new browser window. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
DL

Why?
Redirects are better handled by the server and opening new windows is
better handled by the user.
Is this possible?
Only with JavaScript.

Making things up and hoping that they will work is never very
productive.

JavaScript.

Redirects are better handled by the server and opening new windows is
better handled by the user.

And some browsers *prevent* the opening of new windows (Firebird for
example can be configured not to open new windows).

JavaScript.

Which can be disabled. And I guess that Firebird also prevents JS from
opening a new window. Which is a Good Thing(TM).
