The results of a form to open in a 'pop up' window?

Hi all,

I found an article (http://www.online-tech-tips.com/google-softwaretips/add-google-maps-driving-directions-to-your-website/) that allows a user to search Google directions from a web page.

It works very well, however is it possible to have the resulting page open in a popup window?

Thanks for any advice.

Richard

From Google Maps “Get Directions”

The target=blank means that we want the result to open in a new window.

Browser options may prevent this happening

Is there anyway around this?

Not if the user has set this option.
Alternative use window.open, but this can also be blocked by the user.
