Fair enough... I don't use Linux on the desktop so I wasn't aware of
that.

If it's a w3 extension and not a browser-proprietary hack then sure.
Though I would love to avoid javascript, etc. so I can use the web
interface over links or w3m, but that's probably not going to happen.

Doesn't this mean the same amount of data will be flying around? The array
will be essentially the same size as the popups... which is part of
the concern, also obviously very large html files which this will
solve.
Let's just do the whole thing in ActiveX :)
