Bonnie,
take a look on the code below. I believe it makes IE behave the way you want. The trick is "return(false)" in the onClick argument and href attribute presense.

var wndHandle=window.open(url,"msWin"," width="+w.toString()+", height="+h.toString()+", scrollbars=yes, toolbar=yes, menubar=yes, history=yes, resizable");
}
else {
var wndHandle=window.open(url,"s","height="+h.toString()+",width="+w.toString()+",resizable,scrollbars=yes, toolbar=yes, menubar=yes, history=yes");
