/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Purpose:
  *  OpenNewWindow is used only for external URLs (links not hosted internally)
  *  OpenNewWindow tracks the number of visits we send to external urls by passing links
     through 'extLinker.asp'.
  *  To view the custom report that consumes this information, navigate to 'Custom Reports' >> 
    'Top External URLs' within a IIS profile WebTrends 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Parameters: fURL, features
  * fURL     - the external url that the site will exit to 
               or a string name that will be used to set the exit page (and features).
  * features - <optional> the optional parameter allows the window to be customized.
               if not defined the following settings are used:
               'location=1,status=0,toolbar=0,directories=0'
  
    Customizable 'features': 
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
    toolbar     = 0|1      Specifies whether to display the browser tool bar.   
    location    = 0|1      Specifies whether to display the browser address bar.
    directories = 0|1      Specifies whether to display the browser directories.
    status      = 0|1      Specifies whether to display the browser status bar.
    copyhistory = 0|1      Specifies whether to copy browser's history in a new window.	
    menubar     = 0|1      Specifies whether to display the browser menu bar.  
    scrollbars  = 0|1      Specifies whether the new window should have scrollbars.  
    resizable   = 0|1      Specifies whether the new window is resizable.  
    width       = pixels   Specifies the width of the new window.  
    height      = pixels   Specifies the height of the new window.  
    top         = pixels   Specifies the Y coordinate of the top left corner of the new window. 
    left        = pixels   Specifies the X coordinate of the top left corner of the new window. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Usage:
  * <a href="javascript:OpenNewWindow('http://www.yahoo.com');"></a>
  * <a href="javascript:OpenNewWindow('http://www.yahoo.com','width=200,height=200,scrollbars=1');"></a>
