The best way to have the popup work, even with popup blockers is to have
a link like this:
<a href="details.php?id=1" target="details" onclick="window.open('about:
blank', 'details','width=300,height=200');">More Details</a>
The onclick handler is called before the link is actioned, and it opens
a new window with your settings, called 'details'. When that is
finished, the browser continues actioning the link, looks to find the
window/frame called 'details', finds one, and uses it. This way, even if
a user has scripting turned off, the link still works and opens in a new
window.
