window attributes...how they work (or don't work!)

I want this link to open a new window with specified dimensions and attributes. It won't work for some reason.

<a href="Home.cfm" target="_blank" onClick="window.open("Home.cfm", "HR - Training Database WEbsite", toolbar=1,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=648,height=800)">Training Website Home Page</a>

Try

<a href="Home.cfm" target="_blank" onClick="window.open("Home.cfm", "HR - Training Database WEbsite", 'toolbar=1,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=648,height=800')">Training Website Home Page</a>

I should have explained: The last parameter needs quotes around it - its a STRING of a list of settings.

I continually get error message saying that the parameters are not legitimate with certain browsers. Also, it plainly doesn't work. I tried adjusting the width to see a change, but it doesn't matter what i have in it, the window stays the same .

Any other suggestions..........

try the following

<a href="home.cfm" target="_blank" onClick="window.open('Home.cfm', 'HR - Training Database WEbsite', 'toolbar=1,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=648,height=800'); return false;">Training Website Home Page</a>

You WILL have to change your double quotes to single quotes, as Tacobell777 pointed out, or use " instead. Also add a return false; to the end of the onClick call.
