This is the code I'm using :

<a href="javascript:window.open(' http://eepurl.com/bQhLz1', 
   'Health Challenge: Week One', 'width=600,height=550 ');" ></a>

Not sure why my main page URL is redirecting once the popup opens. What can I do to fix this?

  • Works as it should for me? In chrome - which browser are you using? – StudioTime Feb 12 '16 at 08:07

You should open window through onclick event and also return false to prevent default action

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://eepurl.com/bQhLz1',
'Health Challenge: Week One', 'width=600,height=550'); return false;"></a>
