title: Basic Javascript question: How to open a new window?
body: <p>How do I open a new window in javascript properly?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href='javascript:window.open("testing.html","mywindow","menubar=0,resizable=1,width=200,height=500,left=0,top=0");' &gt;New Window&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This causes a new window to pop up but in Firefox it leaves the original page with a blank window saying "[object Window]". I've also had issues with IE as well.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can I open a window that works in Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Bonus: If you can help in creating a link that is javascript degradable (I think that's the term).</p>
