通过open.window传递php变量

Question

I'm pretty new to javascript so please excuse this question if it seems pretty nooby. I am writing an online calendar to book engineer's jobs so we need to be able to look at the calendar whilst looking at and editing individual jobs. After much deliberation I decided the best way to do this is by opening the jobs in a new window using window.open. However, I would like to pass the job id via the url in order to pass it to the new window but for love nor money I can't work it out or find a solution. Here is my code so far

function open_win() 
{
    window.open('job_detail.php', '_blank','toolbar=0,location=no,menubar=0,height=400,width=400,left=200, top=300');

}

<a href="#" onclick="open_win()" ><? echo $row['name']; ?></a>

The $row['name'] is the value of the link and the value I want to pass will be held in $row['id'] or $job_id. I just can't work out where to put it so it passes on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

As a parameter?

function open_win(id) {
    window.open('job_detail.php?id=' + id, '_blank','toolbar=0,location=no,menubar=0,height=400,width=400,left=200, top=300');
}

<a href="#" onclick="open_win(<?= $row['id'] ?>)"><? echo $row['name']; ?></a>
