I'd:
<a href="./help.php"
onclick="window.open('./help.php','site_help','#your_settings');return
false;" target="site_help">Help</a>
You might want to check with the people on comp.lang.javascript for a
reliable method wether the window is indeed opened.
Will attempt a javascript method of opening a window. If that fails, a plain
HTML opening of a new (named) window. Any further clicks should be opened in
that same named window.
'requested' pop-ups (that open if you click on a link) should not be blocked
by decent pop-up blockers, only automatically opened windows.
