Scott,

That attribute is most likely being injected by your text editor. And it
most likely only has a meaning inside that editor You would find that if you
try to validate this page it will throw up unknown attribute error.

The following provides information on how browsers handle unknown attributes
and elements:

Bob,

The following site may give you an idea:

http://javascript.about.com/library/blpoptest.htm

Basically, each popup
window has an 'opener'.
If the 'opener' exists, then user has come to the page via a popup, else the
user has come via another method.
