Capture the keystroke (how to do that is in the archives) and have the 
action refresh the frame/iframe (also in the archives).

I assume that's IE-specific? If it is, say so in future. The cross-browser 
method would be:

   window.open('url','target_name','features');

The target_name is used with HTML Transitional attributes like:

   <A href="..." target="target_name">...</A>

To declare the title of the page, you must use the TITLE element. To set 
the window size (bad idea), specify it in the 'features' string:

   window.open('...','...','width=x,height=y');

One final comment; DON'T USE JAVASCRIPT PSEUDO-URIs:

1) The correct way of specifying the script language is through the use of 
a META element:

   <META http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">

    Not all browsers use Microsoft's initiatives.

2) The onclick event should be used to trigger actions when an element is 
clicked, and the URI should point to an alternative, non-javascript page 
that shows the same content as the action, or an explanation as to why the 
user cannot view it:

   <A href="alternative.html" onclick="window.open(...);return 
false">...</A>

If there is no alternative content, you might use a button instead of a 
text link:

   <BUTTON type="button" onclick="window.open(...)">...</BUTTON>

Out of pure curiosity, why is a Javascript question posted to what I believe
is a Java forum (correct me if it is not) ?
Do you not realise the difference between the Java 2 Programming Language
developed by Sun Microsystems and HTML/Javascript ?
