[thelist] pop-up window with no numbers in link

[aardvark]

first, i implore you to read this article, as it discusses why your linking
strategy is probably not very useful for those without JS enabled:
	Links & JavaScript Living Together in Harmony
	http://evolt.org/links_javascript

so, now, assuming you have a lovely function that allows you to pass the
window size in dynamically (i have one sitting around if needed), you can
modify that function a bit, perhaps by creating an array of known window
sizes...

so if you have 5 different window sizes you'll use on the site (after all,
seldom does *every* window need to be a unique size), map each of those
sizes to a variable, and instead of passing a w/dith/height in your function
call, pass the variable that corresponds to the dimensions you want...

doing the resize event after the window has launched creates a nasty flash,
and immediately fires my window closing finger, because i just assume it's
spam...
