The window.open() method has the follwing syntax:

window.open('url','popupName','paramters')

where:

url = the page to load (eg. foo.html) [optional];

popupName = a name assigned to the popup for referencing purposes [optional] and,

parameters = a comma-seperated list of boolean and other attributes that allow you to determine the popups confuguration [optional] These include:
toolbar,
location,
status,
resizable,
scrollbars,
menubar,
width=some_width,
height=some_height,
top=top_position,
left=left_position

If you don't specify any of the optional arguments, a browser window the same as the current window gets opened. If i wanted a popup that was resizable, had scrollbars and a status bar, that was 400px x 400px in dimension:

window.open('','','width=400,height=400,scrollbars,resizable,status')

Opening your window directly from a link (without calling a function):

<a href="window.open('display_form.asp?ReqNo=<%=rs("ReqNo")%>','','width=500,height=400')">Open It</a>

If you want to pass window parameters to a reusable window.open() function, thats a bit different. See if this helps.
