I can't seem to create links to external websites that open as intended in a 
new browser window while leaving the main browser window unchanged. Except in 
Safari on a Mac. See sample code.

 In Safari on a Mac this opens the new window and behaves as I want. In Safari 
on a PC it opens a new window, but in back. In Firefox on Mac I get an error 
message in which, when the "OK" button is cliked on, a new window opens in back 
of the main window. Same thing on a PC. Internet Explorer on a PC opens a new 
window but displays an error message forcing you to clik the back button to 
return to the main page.
 If I specify the main page url in the link field, then the main page gets 
reset to the top, which I don't want.
 How can I get FireFox and IE to accomplish this gracefully?
