That's because window.open() return a reference to the new window which
to put in the href of the link.
<a href="javascript:foobar();">
is a bad idea, what happens if the user has javascript disabled?
better:
JavaScript:
function popup(url){
var newwin=window.open(url,'bob','WIDTH=320,HEIGHT=195');
return false; //so if javascript IS enabled prevents link on page
}
HTML:
<a href='http://www.wedgwood-group.com/'
onclick="return popup('http://www.wedgwood-group.com/')">
Click to download
</a>
If user has javascript disabled then the your download will be in main
window, else in the popup.

Take care,
