There are very good reasons to open new windows, not just when using frames,
online banking being one of them.
There seems to be some misinformation floating about this list.
I have accounts in both Commonwealth and Bankwest, who both seem to
think that popups are a fantastic idea. Bankwest are more evil though
because when you logout they resize your window which shits me to tears.
Anyway, the point I am making is that I am not forced to use their
crappy pop-up, as it is a webpage that can be loaded directly into your
browser, which I do. Yes, it is easily done.
Point one: There is no real way to enforce a pop-up for your user if
they don't want one.
The other issue I have is that people are under a false impression that
a pop-up is more secure. A pop-up adds no more extra security to that
which is already present. Do not be fooled!!
Point two: No extra security.
I honestly think the banking pop-ups are a waste of time and effort and
are a pain in the *rse.
