Just that you should try to put up your efforts on a server so we
can see what you are doing, you give us an address of where to
look.

Where did you get the idea to use the word "new"? I may be
missing something.
If you want a link to open in a new window, you can use the
construction <a href="destination.html" target="_blank">
You can use this in docs with
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
They will not validate. This is not the end of the world. You can
still do it. Many browsers will not blink and it will work as you
want.
Your other choice is to use a transitional doc type.
The other thing you can do, and this is generally the best thing
to do: review your wanting to control the windows of website
user. Now that there is tabbed browsing and greater familiarity
with browsers, it is often best to simply leave all this stuff to
the user. This is another reason a URL is desirable. So your
business can be seen completely and we can poke our noses in and
say what is what and how things should or should not be. :-)
