Hi I'm working on a web content management system [1] that I'm trying to make as accessible as possible. On pages that are used to edit content there are 'Help?' hyperlinks to on-line help documentation, a link for each form input element. At the moment these are just regular links. Two users have complained that when they follow these links and then go back the edit content page they have lost any content that they had started to write (this is true, it's how it works in most browsers). Half the people here are of the view that we shouldn't pop-up new browsers windows for help and that users should learn how to open new browser windows if they want new windows. The other half think this is stupid and that we should use links that pop-up new browser windows for the help documentation. OK, my question: is that a way to use links that open new browser windows that is accessible and complies with WCAG Double-A?
