opening new child without changing parent

so i've got an onClick that looks like this:

onClick="openNew()"

on an imagemap.

the function code is below:

function openNew()
{
window.open("contact.asp");
}

when i click on the image it does like i want and opens up another window with "contact.asp" in it, but it also changes the content of the current window to "contact.asp". how can i stop the latter from happening??

i know this is easy...but i can't see it.

thanks,
b

nevermind...i had an href in there where it shouldn't have been.

i feel like a moron.

in fact, i think i am a moron...
