Opening JSP in new custom-sized window.

I have three html pages and a JSP page. I want to add a link(could be a form "submit" button) to JSP on each html page so that when user clicks on that link, JSP page opens on a separate custom-sized browser window with fields values of html page displayed on it.

Thanks

for opening a custom size window
<a href='' onClick="window.open('/Page.do','_blank','menubar=no,left=50,top=50,height=500,width=1000,scrollbars,resizable=yes');">Link</a>

i assume u are working with struts so, /Page.do
otherwise replace it with, /whateverjsppage.jsp

here are the details of the attributes used in window.open

and what about passing parameters?

fargo

say for example the url to open is "/whateverjsppage.jsp" then u can append parameters as in normal html link like
/whateverjsppage.jsp?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3

then the link will become
<a href='' onClick="window.open('/whateverjsppage.jsp?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3','_blank','menubar=no,left=50,top=50,height=500,width=1000,scrollbars,resizable=yes');">Link</a>

can i retrieve parameters by request.getparameter(); As i couldnot get variable values on jsp page.

I would appreciate if you could give me a small example, with one field on html and displaying it on JSP page.
