Jeff,
I have used javascript to accomplish the popups but with the same problem I described
earlier... If a second call to the script tries to load the same document(sameURL) but
at a different anchor(<a name="SomeNewAnchor">), then the new anchor will be used
HOWEVER the window with the new anchor will NOT pop to the top(gain the focus).
I tried your script just for the heck of it... no luck... same ole problems.
I should add... Netscape has quirks as well.
This really has me baffled!!
