Rodmaster,

The simple answer is to use the correct syntax for opening a new browser window from JavaScript, as defined eg. here.

A more comprehensive solution is to create your own function openWin() as follows:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function openWin(url, name, mySpecs){
	var url = (!url) ? '' : url;
	var name = (!name) ? '' : name;
	var specs = {//Hash of default values; for definitions see http://www.w3schools.com/HTMLDOM/met_win_open.asp
		channelmode : '0',
		directories : '1',
		fullscreen : '0',
		height : '',
		left : '0',
		location : '1',
		menubar : '1',
		resizable : '1',
		scrollbars : '1',
		status : '1',
		titlebar : '1',
		toolbar : '1',
		top : '0',
		width : ''
	};
	var prop;
	specs.compose = function(){
		var specsArray = new Array();
		for(prop in specs){
			if(typeof specs[prop] != "function"){
				specsArray.push( prop + '=' + specs[prop] );
			}
		}
		return specsArray.join(',');
	};
	if(mySpecs){//Override default values with mySpecs values.
		for(prop in mySpecs){ specs[prop] = mySpecs[prop]; }
	}
	window.open( url, name, specs.compose() );
	return false;
}
</script>

This will allow you to override javascript's default values for each of the "specs" parameters, either by changing the values in the specs hash within the function, or (more typicaly) by passing in a hash of your own as the third parameter when calling openWin().

Hence, your call might look something like this:

<a href="" onclick="return openWin('Presentations/TeamViewer_access.html', 'TeamViewer', {width:400,height:400,left:10,top:10});">Help</a>
