You can read more about it here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.open

According the MDN Docs:

This is the URL to be loaded in the newly opened window. strUrl can be an HTML document on the web, it can be an image file or any type of file which is supported by the browser.

I assume this will work in most/all browsers, but the MSDN article doesn't get too specific, so you might have to experiment.
