Open Browser in New Window Using Javascript

[saurabhmca2003]

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function open_()
{
    window.open('http://www.yahoo.com');
}
</script>
 
<a href="javascript:open_()" >About Restaurant</a>
 

does not work at all.
If we click(left) on the 'About restaurant' link, the new window in open. But if we right click-> open a new window, it will just show "javascript:open_()" in address bar. This thing seems to appear in IE6. While working perfectly fine with IE7.

Please give suggestion or solution for this as son as possible.
thank you:

I have IE7 installed so I couldn't test in IE6.

Please try:
[HTML]<a href="javascript:window.open('http://www.yahoo.com');">About Restaurant</a>[/HTML]

There are other methods to open a link in new window if this fails.

Avoid the "javascript:" protocol for the link href attribute - see usability issues. Use a real URL for the href, i.e. http://www.yahoo.com.
