slightly off topic: regarding the use of pop-ups, there seems to be a faction that only know of the annoying variety, there are plenty of positive uses for them. music, radio and film sites frequently use them. this content is the type which does not benefit from filling the screen. they open in a new small window, and one can continue browsing and seaching as needed, in the original window. what arguments are there against this type? jonathan http://www.peepo.com (Our users with severe learning difficulties, would never find these pages if they had to navigate through their homepages, so we link directly to them, assuming ie6 with plugins. in the future it might be possible to include some sort of -browser-sniffing- however this content negotiation is tricky. ) john foliot wrote: I argue that inclusion of pop-ups creates accessibility barriers to users of certain technologies, and should be avoided - period.
