Is there a CFScript function that can create a new window popup with a passed URL? If not, can anyone suggest a method of creating a popup window that doesn't use Javascript?

Thanks in advance!

Since Javascript is the only real way to interact with that functionality in
the browser, I believe doing it without javascript is probably impossible.
Why are you trying to do a popup without using javascript?

Unless you use target="_blank", you have to use JavaSCript for pop-up windows.

CFSCRIPT is just another way to write CF code. CF is SERVER SIDE while
JavaScript is CLIENT SIDE.

CF has already processed all the CF code, be it <cf> tags or chunks of
<cfscript> before it gets to the users browser.
