Below are 9 different ways to open a single window with javascript. They include a text link, image link, form button, onload, onunload and onmouseover.
In case you're thinking of doing something sneaky with the onmouseover versions, forget it. Almost all browsers ask the user if they want to close the window before it happens.
Try not to get too carried away with the use of onmouseover, onload and onunload if you want people to visit your homepage more than once.
