[the classic terms and conditions]
But can anybody give me a reasonable example of solving this problem without target=_blank?
1) Make the Terms and conditions a mandatory step before reaching the form - this is also legaly the most secure. As they are annoying show them upfront as a must rather than sneakily in a link that might make the user lose her data to boot. 2) Embed the terms and conditions in the same document and link them with an anchor - that also allows you to use any CSS magic to make them not take up too much screenspace (overflow) - if your argument is that they need to be maintained separately, use SSI to pull them in server-side. 3) Store the data already entered in a session via Ajax and retain it when the user comes back 4) Include the data in an IFRAME or via Ajax setting the focus to it when the user hits the T&C link (not that accessible, but does work) 5) Call the link next to the terms and conditions checkbox I agree with the _Terms and Conditions_ (shift-click to open in a new window) and remove the parenthesis when JS is available and you can apply a handler. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
