Pop-up window overlapping issues

Hello,
Is there a way to change the target name of a pop-up window?
If you check out my site you will see the issue I am having. What happens is when you click on "Open Chat Window" and then click on "Detach Jukebox" they populate in the same pop-up. So you can't have both windows open at the same time.
If I could change the name of the pop-up's target to "_chat" or "_jukebox" instead of "_blank" perhaps I could have both pop-ups open.
The site is http://www.stateofhumanity.org - check it out and you will see the issue.
Let me know if you know what I can do about this issue.

That's pretty much how you do it...except without the leading underscore.
target="chat" and target="jukebox"
target="chat" and target="jukebox"

[html]
<a href="linked.html" target="newwin" >link</a>
[/html]
or
window.open(URL, name [, features])
[html]
<a href="javascript: window.open('http://whatever.com', 'tinyWindow', 'toolbar,width=150,height=100')">new window</a>
[/html]
<a href="linked.html" target="newwin" >link</a>
[/html]

window.open(URL, name [, features])
[html]

[/html]
Ok so far it works. Except the window that has the link also goes to another page and says "[object Window]" What can I do?
As you can tell I am not a coder.
Thanks for all the support.

try this
javascript
html
[html]
<a href="javascript:popUp('http://www.stateofhumanity.org/chatwindow.html')">popup window</a>
[/html]
p.s. no need to add window names...and put the script in the head section.
