    Modern browsers only allow opening new windows in direct response to specific user-generated actions, like click events. You can’t open them at other times (such as window load or unload), because it used to be that browsers allowed that, and it promptly got abused. So now we have popup-blockers.

    Update: Re your comment:

    …business currently has the link open in the existing window, and now they want it in another..

    That you can do. You do it in the page linking to the page you want in a new window, not the page being opened, like this:

    <a href="..." target="_blank">text of link</a>

    See the target attribute of a elements.
