You cant do that. That's not HTML. There is no way in HTML to turn off
toolbars, or scrollbars in a parent window (only frames inside a
frameset, but lets not go there).

You need to write some script (javascript) to do what you are after - of
course bearing in mind for the 5% of people who have JS turned off it
wont work at all...


<script type="text/javascript">
function openPopup(myURL) {
window.open(myURL,"mypopup","width=250,height=250,status=no,resizable=yes,top=200,left=200");
}
</script>
<a href="mypage.htm" target="mypopup"
onclick="openPopup('mypage.htm');">click here</a>
