Ok, webmaster tip. Don’t control my windows! If I want a new window, I will open one. I don’t need the link to open one for me when I am going from the homepage to the gallery page. And if it’s an external link that opens in a new window I will close the new window, open the link in a new tab and close the existing one. So it’s not doing you any good.
Also, JavaScript links. Don’t use them! It’s not big and it’s not clever. Like the MySpace keywords that need JavaScript to open so if I want to hold Ctrl down and open a load of them in new tabs in Firefox, none of them work so the only thing I can do is open them in the current window. That’s probably worse than opening new windows. Use standard links and add JavaScript to the event tags such as onClick where they belong.
