Thanks Rudy,

That's usually the fix I'd use but for reasons beyond my grasp I just 
can't get it working in this case. The content of the popup is all 
set in absolute positioned divs, all 300px wide. I've tried making 
the new window a variety of sizes; 300 results in right edge getting 
cropped and horizontal scrollbar. 330px kills the horizontal scroll 
bar, but leaves a big white gap down the right edge. 315px, as a 
compromise, leaves the white space on Macs, and a horizontal 
scrollbar on Windows. It's a tiny but most infuriating problem...

on the off chance that anyone really wants to help out, the problem is at:

and please don't freak our clients out by placing orders; the site's 
not live until next week ;)

thanks
