That will give you a link that appears in a new window, if you want a
window that doesn't have toolbars and such, you'd need to use JavaScript.

However, I'd question why you'd want to do that - why remove the
functionality of the user's browser? Also, most JavaScript-produced
'pop-up' windows are blocked by pop-up blockers, which are now being
bundled with mainstream browsers as well as software like Norton
Internet Security, so there is no guarantee that anything would be
displayed at all. Then the user would be left wondering why the link
didn't work.

Hope this helps.
