Re: Popup windows with <TABLES>, <FOOTNOTES> and <DIV>?

Hi!

Could you be more spesific?  If a table was a popup, when would it be 
rendered (when would it pop up)?  How would you achieve the compatibility 
with older versions, as all the browsers cannot be updated at once?

Your thought isn't clear!  How can we have popup windows with out opening 
a small new window for the purpose?

The Netscape allways opens a new window the size of the old window.  You 
cannot determine which size the new window would be.

How about we add the Width and Height to A HREF tag?

ps. am I being too consearned with compatibility with the older browsers?
