<a href="javascript:openIt()">xxx</a>

and then have this in your page.

<script type="text/javascript">

function openIt() {

location.href="where.html";

window.open("location.html","name");

}

</script>

EDIT: yeah, yours is better.

i thried that, but i'm not sure i'm doing it right.

<a href="news.html" onclick="window.open('newUrl','newWinName');document.location.href='http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZlinqdistributionQQhtZ-1'><img src="linqebay.jpg"/></a>

does my code make sense? cus it has just cut the image i wanted to use as the link out of the webpage.

@TheBearMayApr 12.2006 — This would probably work better:

<i>
</i>&lt;a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZlinqdistributionQQhtZ-1','newWinName');document.location.href='news.html'&gt;&lt;img src="linqebay.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

@zog953authorApr 12.2006 — for some reason the image still hasn't reappeared, so i can't really tell you if it has worked.

@TheBearMayApr 12.2006 — Is the image in the same directory as the HTML page? If not you'll need to give it the path to the image.

@zog953authorApr 12.2006 — it definately is, when i changed the link back to do just one function and connect to the "news.html" page the image reappeared ?

@TheBearMayApr 12.2006 — I see the problem. I left out a quote. Try this instead:

<i>
</i>&lt;a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZlinqdistributionQQhtZ-1','newWinName');document.location.href='news.html'"&gt;&lt;img src="linqebay.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
