Opening a window
Don't be put off by the long list of numbers, it's not that complicated really :) a typical link would look like this.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a href="#" onClick="open_win('URL_TO_OPEN',400,400,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,5,'win1');return false;">Page 1</a> 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What to change
('URL_TO_OPEN',400,400,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,5,'win1')

In detail 

'URL_TO_OPEN', - The address of the page to open 
400, - window width 
400, - window height 
1, - Tool Bar 1=On 0=Off 
1, - Address Bar 1=On 0=Off 
1, - Directories 1=On 0=Off 
1, - Status Bar 1=On 0=Off 
1, - Menu Bar 1=On 0=Off 
1, - Scroll Bars 1=On 0=Off 
1, - Resize 1=On 0=Off 
1, - Copy History 1=On 0=Off 
5, - Window Position 1-9 
'win1' - The window name 

Tips
When reusing a window you cannot change the window properties so the best thing to do is copy the link and change the URL_TO_OPEN value. 

If you are only using 1 fixed size window then you are best using the window code generator



Demo showing positions and reusing windows Pos No Position Window Name Test 1 Test 2 
1 Top Left win1 Page 1 Page 2 
2 Top Middle win2 Page 1* Page 2* 
3 Top Right win3 Page 1 Page 2 
4 Middle Left win4 Page 1 Page 2 
5 Middle win5 Page 1 Page 2 
6 Middle Right win6 Page 1 Page 2 
7 Bottom Left win7 Page 1 Page 2 
8 Bottom Middle win8 Page 1 Page 2 
9 Bottom Right win9 Page 1 Page 2 
* = No toolbars
