OpenBrWindow behavior in FireFox

Question

I have a link that is opening a "popup" page from my root
directory in a custom sized and positioned window. Code looks like
this:
<a href="popupList_AF.php"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('popupList_AF.php','AFLicenseList','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes ,width=470,top=20,left=20');
return false" target="_blank">(view list)</a>
This page opens in FireFox as expected in a new window.
There is link on this newly-opened popup page that is opening
a link from another server (not part of my site). Here's the code
for that:
<a href="
http://www.augsburgfortress.org/copyrights/licenses/af_hymms_license.jsp"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('
http://www.augsburgfortress.org/copyrights/licenses/af_hymms_license.jsp','AFHymns','scrol lbars=yes,resizable=yes');
return false" target="_blank">Augsburg Fortress Hymns
License</a>
I think the code is identical aside from the pages being
targeted. However, this page opens a new tab in the aforementioned
popup window. Not what I want. Could this be happening because I'm
going "offsite"? Maybe there's somethind else I'm missing.
To follow the actual links, start here:
http://baytonemusic.com/copyrights.php
Click on the word "chart" in the middle of the page. In the
new window, click on "(view list)" in the middle/center table cell.
In the next window, click on "Augsburg Fortress Hymns License" at
the top of the page. It is this last window that insists on opening
in a tab.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks - JAY

Now try removing the target attribute entirely from the popup
window's link.
That just made the new page load into the parent window.

I believe the problem is that the "problem" window is not set
to a specific size. Set some dimensions for it and I think you'll
see what you want.
Actually, when I first encountered the problem (before I
originally posted) I had a size specified - a width at least. Just
to double check again, I have now added specific width and height
dimesions but it's still opening a new tab.
ANSWER
Just figured it out. I feel kind of dumb for not checking
this earlier. The window from which the last link was being opened
was based on a template that did not yet have the correct
JavaScript included. As soon as I put this into the template -
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
//-->
</script>
- everything was cool. Thanks for your responses. Always
appreciated!
