JS Pop Up window

Question

Basically I just want to click on the link an a new window should open. But the window does open in a new tab. Not sure why

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" style="font-size: 12px;" onclick="popupwindow(this.href, 'Redirect to')"><b>Link</b></a>

The JS: Fiddle link

And if I said "works for me"?

Follow Steps :-

1. In html write return false to avoid default event default behaviour
2. From javascript return false
3. Check for popup blocker

JAVASCRIPT

function popupwindow(url) {
    newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=200,width=150');
    if (newwindow == null || typeof(newwindow)=='undefined') {  
        alert('Please disable your pop-up blocker and click the "Open" link again.'); 
    } 
    else {  
        newwindow.focus();
    }
    return false;
}

HTML

<a href="popupex.html" onclick="return popupwindow(this.href)"
    >Link to popup</a>

Unfortunately this cannot be controlled, it's entirely at the discretion of the user-agent.
