Hi , Just wanted to join the chorus and say that poping windows is behaviour and should not be a part of the HTML spec.
It really is akin to manipulating browser chrome and other designer land grabs (i.e. forgetting its the users broswer, not yours). Somethings i have found is that the original issue can usually be addressed by using styling to indicate external or document links (and leaving it up to the user to handle that in their prefered way (personaly i like to middle click for a pop under tab)) or for legitimate needs (usually web apps) a JS (behaviour) solution is appropriate. Some of the best include lighbox style popups for 'wizard prompts' or help. Kind Regards, Kane Tapping Web Standards Developer Web and Content Management Services Griffith University. 4111.

No, "better practice" is to avoid foisting new windows on users altogether. (IMHO - but I don't think I'm alone...)
