Ciao cardo
io uso questa:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function apritestata(val)
{
window.open("testate.asp?id="+val,"testata","height=450,width=500,alwaysLowered=0,alwaysRaised=0,channelmode=0,dependent=1,directories=0,fullscreen=0,hotkeys=1,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,z-lock=0,screenX=0,screeny=0,left=0,top=0");
}
</script>

*********

<%
sql1= "Select titolo,testo,data, id from testate where visibile=1"
if aprirecordset(rs,sql1,3,1) then
numero=rs.recordcount
randomize
Indice = Int(numero * Rnd)
rs.move indice
%>
