Define "a lot of people." I use Pop-Up Stopper myself, but when there is a popup window that I *want* to see, I can CTRL-click the link. I don't have to turn Javascript off. Most browsers are preconfigured to allow Javascript and the user or the company has to explicitly turn it off.
I agree that it's probably going to cover more ground if he keeps the user experience within the main browser window. 95% of the clients I deal with still have Javascript enabled. But 100% of them can see what's going on in their browser, so you have a point. I guess it depends how important the pop-up function is to the project. Perl and MySQL are quite capable of handling the back end, but they're not going to manage this function.

But alot of people keep javascript disabled, so if you design your site expecting people to use it, you will be dissapointed. I've turned off "pop-up javascript windows" in my mozilla preferences because there are so many annoying pop-ads now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
