I am using javascript to open a new browser window. The event is linked to a simple href. But I was wondering if it is better to

<a href="" onclick="open new window"...

or

<a href="javascript:open new window" ...

Or is there a better way to accomplish this. I am concerned about how the spiders might react to essentially a non-URL as the href value.

I always do it like this: <a href="http://www.mysite.com" target="_blank"

It opens a new window, and spiders follow it. I dunno if this helps you...

Thanks for the reply, but I need to launch a controlled window interface, where I can set the size, controls, etc.
