What helps novice users is a consistant interface; links open in the same window unless told otherwise, forms look the same everywhere, links look obvious, search bars are usually text gadgets in the corner, navbars are usually down the side; by changing the behavior of the interface you're actually making the novice's (and indeed, everyone's) life harder by giving links two different adn completely arbitrary behaviors. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freaky@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/ - The best things in life are for a fee.
