How do I make a pop-up window (using html)?

Thanks!

You use a client side language such as javascript.

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function openWin(){
window.open('new','page.htm');
}
</script>

How do I do that in this kind of a tag:

<AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="154,489,190,550" HREF="otherpage.html" TARGET="_blank" ALT="BRN 70" OnMouseOut="window.status=''; return true" OnMouseOver="window.status='BRN 70'; return true">

(i.e. instead of using href)

JavaScript passes variables the same way most modern languages do. JavaScript's syntax is based on Java, which in turn is based on C/C++, which in turn.... Perl, JScript, VB, Fortran, and a host of other languages pass variables in the same way.

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test Page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      function myFunction (myVar) {
        alert(myVar);
      }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p onclick="javascript:myFunction('Foo');">Click Me!</p>
  </body>
</html>

You write to a document using document.write

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function openWin(){
newwin=window.open('new','page.htm');
newwin.document.write('Something');
}
</script>

no no,.. that's not what i meant.. i know how to pass it to a function on the same page, and i don't want to write it to another page, i need to pass it to the pop-up window (which is a separate page).. how do i do that?
