I can think of many instances when opening a second browser window would add a level of functionality to a site that would otherwise be missing. A second window could contain, for instance, a 'control pad' or list of links for the site. This would keep the list separate from the site's content, and mean a listener would not have to listen to the site's navigation over and over again, as pages load for new content sections. It would essentially be mimicking a frameset, keeping content separate from navigation. Opening a second window is risky for accessibility though, as it changes the focus or location of the user. Question: is alerting the listener of a second browser window in the TITLE attribute of the Anchor tag sufficient 'warning' that a second browser window will be spawned? If not, what would this list suggest? Thanks!
