try 

onClick=return(window.open('yoururl.html'))

Is the browser running the application?  Javascript is client-side
scripting so a browser has to run it.

Have you tried typing 

:javascript

into the URL of the browser to get an error report?

And that popups are not disabled.

Try getting a normal html page with javascript to popup a new window,
then work backwards.  If you can't do that it's just a javascript
problem.  I can send you javascript that I use for popups if you want.
