asked on

open new window with href and have it maximized in IE 6

I am trying to ensure that all my hrefs on a page open the new pages in a  maximized  window.  I only need this for IE 6 browser, such as the below link

<a  href="link.html" target="_blank" /> click for map</a>

thanks

so if I then have the below,

does target="_blank"  = this.target ?
what would  I use to maximize the window, and if I have many of these links on the page, is there any way to move this into a javascript href file?  Thanks

<a href="x.html"  onClick="return !window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=1024,height=250')">xxxx</a>

  function winpop(url){
    var w = screen.width;
    var h = screen.height;
    popup = window.open(url,'popup','screenX=0,screenY=0,left=0,top=0,width='+w+',height='+h);
  }
</script>

<a href="x.html"  onClick="winpop(this.href);return false;">xxxx</a>

and you missed a target in your post:
<a href="x.html"  onClick="return !window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=1024,height=250')">xxxx</a>
should be
<a href="x.html"  target="_blank" onClick="return !window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=1024,height=250')">xxxx</a>
