target="_blank" (using this command in the href brings up a new window)

This is my desired effect. Is there anyway WITHOUT javascript to pre-determine the size of the new window, or is this controlled by the client browser?

I'm pretty sure it is controlled by the client browser, but I'm not for certain. There is usually things lurking in the background that I'm not aware about. :)

In testing it, whatever size my browser is when I close it is the same size the new window opens up as.

Without looking it up, I believe WoodChuckCharlie is right. To determine the new window size, you'll need to use javascript.

Just go to javascript sites and there will be scripts available for customizable popups. Customize the size, scroll bars, buttons, menu's and everything.

JavaScript ;)

(this coming from someone who hates programming and got a 58 on his JavaScript final exam)

well, the problem I'm having is setting up a guestbook for my personal website. The free guestbook I found is fine, but it is not hosted on my server. Although I hate pop-ups, if someone is going to leave 'my site', I'd rather open a new window.

I'm gonna try setting up Active Perl and running some CGI scripts for a guestbook on my own server. I might as well learn the stuff now. There seem to be countless free scripts out there.
