help! javascript inline of an HTML to open an HTML in a target window

help! javascript inline of an HTML to open an HTML in a target window.
Something like...

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>

<body>

hello, world!<BR><BR>

javscript:"window.open('file.html','NewWindow',blah)"

But I can't remember, can't find an example and i really need a way
to open a html file in a window without the user pressing a key or anything.

ANY help would be appreciated. This is due in a few hours and it's the last
bit of code to drop in.

Thanks!

its NOT a pop-up - I need to refresh content in a frame/iframe based on
which keystroke the user presses...

Capture the keystroke (how to do that is in the archives) and have the
action refresh the frame/iframe (also in the archives).

<a
href="javascriptpenWindow('<url>','<title>',<window-width>,<window-length>);">

I assume that's IE-specific? If it is, say so in future. The cross-browser
method would be:

window.open('url','target_name','features');

The target_name is used with HTML Transitional attributes like:

<A href="..." target="target_name">...</A>

To declare the title of the page, you must use the TITLE element. To set
the window size (bad idea), specify it in the 'features' string:

window.open('...','...','width=x,height=y');

One final comment; DON'T USE JAVASCRIPT PSEUDO-URIs:

1) The correct way of specifying the script language is through the use of
a META element:

<META http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">

Not all browsers use Microsoft's initiatives.

2) The onclick event should be used to trigger actions when an element is
clicked, and the URI should point to an alternative, non-javascript page
that shows the same content as the action, or an explanation as to why the
user cannot view it:

<A href="alternative.html" onclick="window.open(...);return
false">...</A>

If there is no alternative content, you might use a button instead of a
text link:

<BUTTON type="button" onclick="window.open(...)">...</BUTTON>

Out of pure curiosity, why is a Javascript question posted to what I believe
is a Java forum (correct me if it is not) ?
Do you not realise the difference between the Java 2 Programming Language
developed by Sun Microsystems and HTML/Javascript ?

I assume that's IE-specific?

Nope, made up (presumanly they have an include file providing it)
