Hmmmmmm, that's strange. I use Javascript functions to control the few pop-up windows in the CMS, but I just went in and changed some to standard href tags with the _blank for the target attribute, as you have, and it still works with no problem.
If, as Chris wrote, this is indeed a feature/bug of IE, then it must be configurable somewhere, though I'm lost as to where that might be. I just tested it out on a number of systems around here, both on a Windoze 2000 box and on a RedHat box using a Terminal Services connection, and it worked fine for me. Does anyone have any ideas how this could be controlled via IE's settings?

Perhaps it's an issue of how you're invoking the new windows? Are you using a normal link with target="_blank" or are you using Javascript to launch the new window?

Every other browser, to my knowledge, will work properly. Hope that helps.
