Yes, generating the entire href is what keeps going through my mind,
but all I could think of was something like href=" <%= beginning
string %> + javascript + <%= ending string %>" which didn't seem
quite right. Having javascript generate the whole thing or passing
everything to a function that will build the url and open the window
is probably what I'll do.
Thanks for your comments.
