I've seen where people use hidden DIV's that show/hide and who's content
changes depending on the function at hand... That works REALLY well. Just
an insight. I do think that "popup" style windows have a place in function
and can be convenient. It's in a mixed spot for me.

Hi Bob,
You make a good point. But the reason I don't use new windows isn't
accesibility. It's an irritation at having new windows opened for me.
Being a firefox user, I open in a new tab when I want to and in the
current otherwise. People know what they want, generally, and are
able to perform that actoin. The only popular non-tabbed browser is
IE 6, where one can always open in a new window if one wants.
The case for mini-popups (smaller sized windows, sized through the
javascript window.open()) is somewhat different - indeed they can
often be quite useful. But if you're just opening a new window
because it's what you want - I don't consider it useful.
My two cents.
