Rick Faaberg:
All popup windows break the back
button (popup as in a new window, Javascript or not).
So if you are 12 clicks into the new site in the original window,
you're
fine with clicking "back" 12 times to get back to the original site?
Assuming of course that no-one else is opening windows for me then I'd
use the drop down that most browsers have, or the history function. The
back button is still the quickest way of backing out of a single link
that doesn't suit me and going back more than one link is a simple
repetitive action that requires minimal effort on my part.
Wouldn't "close window" in the new window (with the 12 clicks inside)
be
much quicker?
If your site was the only site in the world to open new windows then
sure this might be quicker. But when a lot of sites (randomly) insist
on opening windows it is easy to loose track of where you are and where
you came from. The effort required to close a window. Locate other open
browser windows and select the one I want to return to is most
definitely more than hitting the back button.
kind regards
Terrence Wood.
