Here's my method (requires jQuery):

function OpenWindow(params, width, height, name) {
    var screenLeft=0, screenTop=0;

    if(!name) name = 'MyWindow';
    if(!width) width = 600;
    if(!height) height = 600;

    var defaultParams = { }

    if(typeof window.screenLeft !== 'undefined') {
        screenLeft = window.screenLeft;
        screenTop = window.screenTop;
    } else if(typeof window.screenX !== 'undefined') {
        screenLeft = window.screenX;
        screenTop = window.screenY;
    }

    var features_dict = {
        toolbar: 'no',
        location: 'no',
        directories: 'no',
        left: screenLeft + ($(window).width() - width) / 2,
        top: screenTop + ($(window).height() - height) / 2,
        status: 'yes',
        menubar: 'no',
        scrollbars: 'yes',
        resizable: 'no',
        width: width,
        height: height
    };
    features_arr = [];
    for(var k in features_dict) {
        features_arr.push(k+'='+features_dict[k]);
    }
    features_str = features_arr.join(',')

    var qs = '?'+$.param($.extend({}, defaultParams, params));
    var win = window.open(qs, name, features_str);
    win.focus();
    return false;
}

Seems to work in all browsers.
