Opening separate browser windows, within the same session opens a can of worms of problems you might not really want to tap into. Opening a message window is a viable approach however which might not trigger the problems you get with a multi window approach as long as no application logic is interwoven, however most common and a generally good design is not to use popups (I use them myself sometimes, but I probably should beat me for that as well) You might get more problems than solutions by using popups in the future, and believe me users hate them.
I usually use a specially marked location within the page to display error messages or messages generally. Using something like a fade or another special effect helps to push the users attention to the message. That approach works exceptionally well. Werner MarcV wrote: > Thanks for your feedbacks...
