How can I cause a link on a page to open up a new browser window when the
link is clicked on? I've noticed javascript code sometimes when I try to
right-click a link and open it in another window.
Is there a way to use straight HTML to cause a link to open a new browser
window?
Thanks.

It depends on your browser, but usually it's right-click and then
select "Open in New Window".
I'm sure you don't mean to ask how to write a Web page that will open
its link in a new window, because that is evil and anti-user. (Think
back to how often you've been annoyed by windows opening up unasked,
and don't do that to your visitors.)

Once I read up about the command, I realized the connection with the
dreaded pop-up windows, and also that some anti-pop programs would disable
the feature, so I came to my senses.
What I wanted to do was keep the reader on one page but give them the
option to look at an associated reference page quickly without disrupting
where they were (I guess like a basic popup window). But is sounds like
it'll just cause more aggravation than cause good.

I agree. I can open new windows all I like. So can your user, if it's of
any benefit.
