you can put a generic message on top if you have a lot of links that will basically tell the user that the links will open a separate pop-up windows or one on top of the other. note, the trick here is whether you open a new window on top of the current window or a pop-up where you control the size, placement and commands. in any case, let the user know. you can also put a link next to the web site description that says <pop-up>. another case would be to post a message that you are leaving the site or use a message that says <you are exiting this site> some people have disclaimers attached. also when i read, "do not change the current window without informing the user", i take this to mean they are talking about the current site going someplace else. so an internal link changes the current window and the external link will change the window - so this is ok. trick is if new windows are opened or if the new browser window is opened on top of the current. comments? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Oliver" <graham_oliver@yahoo.com> To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 11:22 PM Subject: Clarification sought on checkpoint 10.1 > Checkpoint 10.1 states > 'Until user agents allow users to turn off spawned > windows, do not cause pop-ups or other windows to > appear and do not change the current window without > informing the user.' > > looking for clarification on the second part 'do not > change the current window without informing the user.' > > Can someone tell me what this means please > > Cheers > Graham Oliver > > ===== > 'Making on-line information accessible' > Mobile Phone : 025-919-724 > Work Phone : 09 846 6995 > AIM ID : grahamolivernz > > ____________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.co.uk address at http://mail.yahoo.co.uk > or your free @yahoo.ie address at http://mail.yahoo.ie >
