Re: new browser window

Hello Friends:

Question:  can't you just use  TARGET="new"  ?

Comment - it sounds as if the intention is to always have one page sitting on 
the desktop while viewing a second page from a link.  How important is it to 
keep the bottom page around?  

One drawback that there is another page distracting the user that he/she 
might intentionally cover up to get it out of view - or even shut it down 
thereby losing his/her way back.

The advantage is that there is always a "home base" - but that can easily be 
offered via a link back to the starting page. If you have a really deep site, 
then linking back might be the better way to go.

Just a thought from this student....
