open new window from an applet

Hello,
How to open new window from an applet.
I have an applet with one button "Edit". On click this button, I want to open new window. I used:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("javascript:window.open('/eportfolio/form/editchart.jsp?type=5&chart=5', null, 'width=720, height=400, scrollbars=1, status=yes');"));
It will open new window, but the parent window (I mean the page where this applet displayed) will change the URL like: javascript:window.open('/eportfolio/form/editchart.jsp?type=5&chart=5', null, 'width=720, height=400, scrollbars=1, status=yes');
Please help me

Why not just use a normal url?

If you use a normal Url, the new window will have a toolbar, status bar.... but I don't want to have them.

Not entirely sure that an applet would support a JS url.

Until you can determine that question with certainty, i would try to work around it by getting the applet to actually call JS by ...? (you know what - i can't remember the name of the technology ;-)) JSObject

IOW, get the applet to call a JS function that opens the kind of window you want

No, AFAICT it's trying to create an unsupported URL
