hi james
no, i don't think "manually opened" is the right description -- i would
reserve "manually open" to describe what the *site visitor* does when
selecting File > New > Window (or Ctrl+N)
what i was referring to, and what i hope jamie was looking for, was what
happens when you stick TARGET=foo into the <A HREF> tag
like, what you get on search engines when you click on "open this link in
a new window"
this is also, come to think of it, the "evolt style" for links that are
featured in evolt articles -- we want article authors to use TARGET=foo in
their links, so that when site visitors open the second window, can read
it, close it, they'll be back right where they left off in the evolt
article
there are arguments pro and con about whether popups or second windows are
desirable, but i think jamie was trying to avoid that...
anyhow, it looks like he's settling on using a popup and then resizing it,
so now let's move on to nailing it to the top left corner
jamie, i think this is another one of those cross-browser situations (like
the margin attributes on the BODY tag) where you have to specify it in
both the javascript and jscript languages...
top=0,left=0,screenx=0,screeny=0
