sorry for wasting space, found the answer after some more searching in
another thread.  It answers my question, and hopefully everyone elses. here
it is written by "glengroves":

"The problem with the script on page HP030805631033.aspx is that it includes
'comment out' code, meant to prevent older browsers from displaying the
script as HTML. The script does work if you remove the 'comment out' code.

The script on page HP030805631033.aspx is: <script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript"> <!-- function Show(Url, Name, Features) {
window.open(Url, Name, Features); } // --> </script>.

To make it work use: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function Show(Url, Name, Features) { window.open(Url, Name, Features); }
</script>

This is the same script, but without the 'comment out' code of <!-- and //
-->. "

also to avoid any more problems (maybe im just stupid) if the it is a
filename that you are linking to, and it is in a sub folder, make sure you
divide the directories with a "/" like urls, NOT a "\" , ex:  folder
name/file.doc
