There's one more thing better in the targetting way compared to usin 
popupable tables or other elements: you can have one single dictionary 
file for all your texts.  If you allways put the popup window text with 
the original html, you might have to put the same popup note in many 
different files.

Using A HREF and target to address the popup text allowes a very big 
number of different authors pages to address the same single dictionary 
file.
