My god, I'm away from the list for a day and look all the trouble you people get into...
Rock on, Dave... and tell me why you have all the fun when I'm out of the office? I looked at the site... not bad, kinda busy, a few JS errors, and they have to use popups or frames for data conduits for spoofing "background" posts/validations... it's all a matter of opener or target operations. I had a colleague at one point who was fond of putting a window object in a JS variable, then showing it until the body onLoad event had finished, then closed it. Actually, I downloaded cuteFTP the other night, and they used that exact same technique to spawn a download, then close the window that kicked it off. I once used the opener object to popup a sub-form with a single select for picking a zip code, then alter the content of the opener based on the choice. It was cool, a little like the Flash calendar control... but, not magic. And Googling for JS workarounds isn't a sign of expertise... I'm not ripping on anybody here, I'm just sayin... ya can't bs a bs-er. The real sign of a professional organization would be to fire, or severely discipline, the webmaster in question and publicize the result. Fix the errors in the site, and publish progress reports. Update the site design to consistent, modern methods. And be completely forthright in how your technology achieves it's results. Patrick, I kinda respect your willingness to walk into a firestorm... I'll really respect what followthru I see. That builds confidence. Which, as you point out, builds sales. Laterz!
