One window sometimes just isn't enough. For instance, you might want to create a window as a secondary navigation aid. Pop-up windows are straightforward to make with the Window.open method.
This method takes four optional parameters:
Location specifies the URL of the document to show within the new window. If it's left blank, the "about:blank" document (a blank document) is displayed.
Name specifies the name of the new window.
Options is a single string containing a series of comma-delimited parameters that specify how the new window will look.
Replace history item, if set to true, won't add a new history item to the browser's history list as a result of the window opening.
The following example shows how you can both open and close a navigation window from an HTML page.
