That is a great reason to allow target='NewWindowName' as well as .js
open('NewWid=ndowName'. Most browsers will allow @target and can be
user-configured to open in same tab, or new tab, or to follow the
author's wish for a new window that is a child of the existing. Then
we can have a true multiwindow document which is a lot more fun than
multiple tabs. I mean the browsers are rigged for it, so why not?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Joe
