Answer 1

You can do this in the jQuery document.ready event (shortcut'ed below) by calling the window.open() method

$(function(){ 
    window.open(url, windowName[, windowFeatures]); 
});

windowFeatures:

• status The status bar at the bottom of the window.
• toolbar The standard browser toolbar, with buttons such as Back and Forward.
• location The Location entry field where you enter the URL.
• menubar The menu bar of the window
• directories The standard browser directory buttons, such as What’s New and What’s Cool
• resizable Allow/Disallow the user to resize the window.
• scrollbars Enable the scrollbars if the document is bigger than the window
• height Specifies the height of the window in pixels. (example: height=’350′)
• width Specifies the width of the window in pixels.
