Opening a Form in a New Window - Help!

Hi there
 I'm trying to open up a new window from my struts application which will 
contain "help" information. The link opening the window looks like this so 
far
 
<html:link action="help.do <http://help.do>" target="_help">Help</html:link>
What I'd like to do is specify the following options

window.height=400;
window.width=300;
window.status=yes;
window.toolbar=no;
window.menubar=no;
window.location=no;
 which I'd normally do using a javascript method... like this:

<script>
function openHelpWindow(){
var helpWindow = window.open("","_help",
"height=300,width=450,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
return helpWindow;
}
</script>
 Does anyone know how I might specify these options when opening up a new 
window, then submitting a struts form to said window?

I got it.
 My link is as follows: 

<html:link href="javascript:openHelpWindow();">Help</html:link>
which calls the following:
 
<script>
function openHelpWindow(){
var helpWindow = window.open("","_help",
"height=300,width=450,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
helpWindow.location = "./help.action";
}
</script>

hey there
 What meant was that I wanted to open a new browser that had these options 
set:
 > window.height=400;
> window.width=300;
> window.status=yes;
> window.toolbar=no;
> window.menubar=no;
> window.location=no;
so that it isnt just another same size browser with tiny help text in it.

Hello,

In order to set those options you will have to use Javascript.  The 
target attribute is a fairly dumb animal in that it just opens said 
target with the location you specify.  Anything more requires scripting.

I wasn't clear on what you meant by:

"Does anyone know how I might specify these options when opening up a 
new window, then submitting a struts form to said window?"

Specifically, the part about submitting a struts form to said window... 
can you explain that a different way because I'm not sure what your 
trying to accomplish from that.
