-----------------------------------------------------------------------

New windows can be opened on browsers that support the
`window.open` function and are not subject to the action of any
pop-up blocking mechanism with code such as:-

var wRef;
if(window.open){
wRef = window.open("http://example.com/page.html","windowName");
}
