I've never had a client or employer complain myself, to each his own though. I think well used child windows add a lot to a web app. Making changes in one window and having them reflected in another in my experience makes apps easier to use.
And I've been doing this for 50 years ;-) just kidding. J.

I realize that, but the thing is I have been developing solutions for a very long time for the net. And people that I have spoken to (clients) hate pop ups, because it takes the focus away from the main page. If you want a pop up, then why not use dhtml to bring a layer to the front and use that instead. Then you can also make it so that they can't click anywhere in the rest of the browser window. Refer to siteexperts.com for how to do this. But its your choice what you do, and I am only talking about the experience of what has been said to me over the last 7 years. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 8 July 2002 10:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: (Opinion) Pop-up or not to pop-up? Generally, you wouldn't duplicate all the screen layout -- i.e. navigation, masthead, footer, etc. -- on a popup. Hence, likely to be a smaller HTML file. ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
