i
put

myWindow=window.open("", "Window", 'toolbar,width='+a+',height='+b)

This wont work. So as i see when i want to pass an argument i should use
'+a+' and '+b+' instead of yut a and b

myWindow = window.open('','myWindow','toolbar=1,width='+a+',h eight='+b);

better with ' or " everywhere (not both)
better with no space
<button
onclick="nw(500,500);myWindow.document.write('hell o');">hello</button>
could not work with IE6 or 7 because of (bad ?) security or preferences
fixed on "No popup"
could not work on FF because of anti-popup or preferences fixed on "No
popup"
and so on ... : popup is bad !

For readability, the first person singular pronoun "I" is capitalized.

You need to find a tutorial to read until you understand what a
string literal is. 'toolbar,width=a,height=b' is a string literal
and so variable names within it are not dereferenced.

It's <script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function nw(a,b){
myWindow = window.open("", "Window", 'toolbar,width=a,height=b')

First, either just use double quote (") or single quote (') but not both.

Try

<script type="text/javascript">
var WindowObjectReference; // creating a global variable
function nw(a,b)
{
WindowObjectReference = window.open("", "SecondaryWindow",
"toolbar,width=" + a + ",height=" + b + "resizable,scrollbars");
}
