    href target Is Not Working In JS Generated Popup Window

    Hello gurus! I am not a javascript person, so I hope there is a simple
    answer / solution to this problem I'm having. I'm xposting this to the
    HTML group, if perhaps this is an HTML issue.

    I have a java applet which allows interaction through javascript. For
    example, I can click a point on the applet and a new window will open
    containing information about the point I clicked on. The information is
    gathered via javascript & displayed in the pop-up window.

    I have two href tags being displayed in the pop-up window. They look
    like this:

    <td><a
    href='javascrip t:opener.docume nt.mapApplet.se lectObject(\""+ lyrId+"\","+
    rec.getId()+"); '>On Map</a></td><td><a
    href='http://host/page.php?id="+r ec.getId()+"
    target=\"_blank \"'>Detailed Information</a></td>

    The second one is the one I'm having a problem with. I wish to have
    that link open in a *NEW* window (not the pop-up window, nor the
    original window with the java applet). Regardless of what target I set
    (e.g., _blank, _top, _new), the link always opens in the pop-up window.
    I can set <base target="_blank" > in the head section of my HTML
    (pop-up window), and that fixes the problem - however, it screws up the
    first link which still needs to interact with the java applet window.

    What can I do? I just want that one little link to open in a new window.

    Thanks for your help.

      I think that this is a matter of displaced quotes.

      Try this:

      <td><a
      href='javascrip t:opener.docume nt.mapApplet.se lectObject(\""+ lyrId+"\","+
      rec.getId()+"); '>On Map</a></td><td><a
      "href='http ://host/page.php?id="+r ec.getId()+"'
      " target=\"_blank \">Detailed Information</a></td>
