OK.. I am not suprised. Do you have a problem
with the pop-ups in Mozilla? Safari? Konquerer?
Any of a number of browsers that have a config.
option to disallow or at least challenge, any pop-up?
Or a browser with any of the many pop-up killers
installed as a plug-in (e.g. the Google toolbar), or
apps. that reconfigure/control IE (amongst other
browsers) externally (e.g. Norton)?
* One of the truest things that MS ever stated under
oath, was that IE was an OS component - a very
powerful OS component that probably should not
have been allowed to freely roam the big, bad,
internet. But that's another story..
...When ever I try to open a pop
up ,in IE 7 ,with security level medium or above , all the URL gets
attached to the title bar of the page.
That sounds like an attempt by MS to keep
their end users well informed - good for them!
Attempts by developers to hide the URL, or
to use pop-ups to achieve any particular 'effect' -
are doomed to failure. If a web app. 'depends'
upon these things, it is utterly flawed, and
requires redesign.
Lastly..
..pop up WITHOUT CHANGING THE BROWSER SETTINGS
..please refrain from SHOUTING at us.
