That's a straightforward hyperlink, so assuming @url is a valid URL, this
would behave no differently than if you wrote <a
href="http://www.my-url.com">Text from XML</a>.  If you added
target="_blank" or something similar as Ken suggested, then the link would
open in a new browser.

> 	<xsl:apply-templates/></a>
> 	</xsl:template>

I'm assuming this is a direct paste from your stylesheet?  If so, then my
guess is that the hard return between 'toolbar=1,' and 'menubar=1' is the
culprit.  JavaScript is generally oblivious to whitespace--unless it occurs
within a literal string, such as the arguments to window.open().  Newlines
within a literal string, unless they're escaped with '\n', will easily break
function calls and the like.  Be sure the window.open() call is contained on
a single line.

And Tom is correct--this isn't really an XSLT problem.  ;-)
