D?j? vu from n.p.m.ui back in 1999: mpt makes a valid point about a UI matter but the other guy keeps missing the point due to lack of experience with various GUIs (the Mac in particular). In order to argue with mpt productively, you need background experience of Mac OS 6 through 9 and knowledge about the potential contemporary target platforms (Windows XP, Mac OS X, Gnome, KDE, ...). FWIW, on the topic of chromeless windows: In my opinion, it is none of the webmaster's business to take away my window chrome. I'm not the only one who feels this way. At a party, I mentioned that I filed a request for prefs for ignoring the chrome hiding parameters when Mozilla executes window.open() and that the feature was implemented. The person I mentioned this to reacted by buying me a drink. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://iki.fi/hsivonen/
