When making a link open in a new window using the target=_blank command, is there anyway that I can control the size of the window which opens?

Not when using target. You could use JavaScript, however, to open a new window with the window.open method.

With HTML, there is no way to control the size (or window decoration, or other features) of a new window. However, in JavaScript you can specify such details when using the window.open() function.
Start with a normal HTML link (possibly one that opens in a new window as described in the answer to the previous question). Then use the ONCLICK attribute to open a window with the desired appearance for those readers with JavaScript supported and enabled. The following example specifies a window named "popup" that is 300 pixels by 150 pixels.
View Foo
Used in this manner, JavaScript can specify a new window with the desired appearance, without blocking access when JavaScript is unsupported/disabled.
In addition to the parameters height and width (which take a pixel count as a value), the third argument to the window.open() can include the following booloean parameters (which take "yes" or "no" as a value): directories, location, menubar, resizable, scrollbars, status, and toolbar. These boolean parameters control the presence of the corresponding window decorations in the resulting window.

Yes. The answer is through javascript
This is the code that you have to put in the head section of your page
// you can modify the dimension by modifing the width and height in the javascript part.
// this is how your inpage link shoud look like

Yes i agree. The java script mentioned is the way to go.

You need to use javascript to do that.
