Hi Edith, I strongly recommend not to use popup windows. It will probably fail in 90% or more of the browsers out there since all of the modern browsers have popup blockers. Yes, even Internet Explorer has popup blockers nowadays.
I'd recommend two other alternatives: * use links (<a></a> tag) in combination with the target attribute to open a new window * use SVG windows (see http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/Window/ and http:// www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/Window/index.svg) The latter might not be an option if you want to display HTML, but it works fine for SVG content. If your window only contains a smaller amount of information it might be better to encode it in SVG and use SVG widgets/windows.
