Right here. The window name should be a one string without blank space.
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window.open
> echo $new_win_width ?>,height=<?php echo new_win_height
> ?>,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=no")
If the windowFeatures string list is not empty, then you only need to
set the features which will be on, enabled.

I never understood why people code like that. Why not define the url in
the window.open() call?

"javascript:" pseudo-protocol is definitely not recommendable.

* "javascript:" pseudo-links become dysfunctional when javascript
support is disabled or inexistent. Several corporations allow their
employees to surf on the web but under strict security policies: no
javascript enabled, no java, no activeX, no Flash. For various reasons
(security, public access, text browsers, etc..), about 8% to 12% of
users on the web surf with javascript disabled.
* "javascript:" links will interfere with advanced features in
tab-capable browsers: eg. middle-click on links, Ctrl+click on links,
tab-browsing features in extensions, etc.
* "javascript:" links will interfere with the process of indexing
webpages by search engines.
* "javascript:" links also interfere with assistive technologies
and several web-aware applications (e.g. PDA).
* Protocol scheme "javascript:" will be reported as an error by
link validators and link checkers.
