popup when condition is true

I have the following situation, but not sure of the syntax here. What I want to do is popup a browser window if the IF conditions are true.

<%
' IF TODAYS DATE IS > PROJECTED DATE OR NO RECORD RETURNED>>>>DISPLAY POPUP REMINDER
      if Date() > (projectedRS.Fields.Item("ProjectedDate")) then
            'load browser popup
                  <A HREF="javascript:window.open('reminder.asp','reminder','scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=400');" ></A>
      else
            if projectedRS.EOF or projectedRS.BOF then
                  'load browser popup
                        <A HREF="javascript:window.open('reminder.asp','reminder','scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=400');" ></A>
            else
                  'do nothing stay here
      end if
end if

The error I get is:
Expected Statement: on this line: <A HREF="javascript:window.open('reminder.asp','reminder','scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=400');" ></A>

okay cool.
I am going with a javascript function with this, but my syntax is still wrong in comparing the dates:

<%
' IF TODAYS DATE IS > PROJECTED DATE OR NO RECORD RETURNED>>>>DISPLAY POPUP REMINDER
      if Date() > (projectedRS.Fields.Item("ProjectedDate")) then
            load browser popup
                  return submitForm()
      else
       if projectedRS.EOF or projectedRS.BOF then
                  'load browser popup
                        return submitForm()
            else
                  'do nothing stay here
end if
end if
%>

AND my function is as:
function submitForm(){
var newwindow;
var objForm = document.forms['form1'];
newwindow=window.open('reminder.asp','reminder','height=600,width=600');
objForm.action = "newwindow"
return true;
}

Can't get to my function yet, because of the dates problem...any ideas

good to know, that probably helps but I can't get the date compares line to work yet, so I don't even get there yet, but thanks.
