What you're doing there is setting the current document's URL to some value-- in
this case some URL that looks like:
http://SERVER.gamesite.com/playerstats.html?target=PLAYERNAME
So that will open the new URL just fine, it'll just take the place of your
current document. What you want is to open a new window, or a new tab, which
would be something like this:
myWin=open("http://"+SERVER+".gamesite.com/playerstats.html?target="+PLAYERNAME,"newwin1","width=640,height=350,status=no,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=yes");
That'll open the new window with the specified URL. It's important to note,
however, that the name of this window is (in this case) "newwin1". So if you
tried to open ANOTHER window with the same name, it actually won't do it!
Instead, it will overwrite the contents of "newwin1" with whatever URL you open
the second time. So, (assuming you don't want to do this), you'll need to use a
different name the next time (so maybe make it a variable, or wrap the statement
in an eval and name the window something else). There's probably a way to make
it open a generic unnamed window, too, but I'm not sure how without going and
looking it up, so I'll just leave it at that for now!
I haven't really played around with opening a new tab versus a new window
myself, but I know you can do that too (somehow!). Again, something I'd have to
go and look up! Anyway, HTH!
