Back in December, I posted a link to this very simple guide regarding the use of JavaScript when creating pop-up windows. It wasn’t such a bad guide, but it didn’t paint a completely accurate or comprehensive picture either. As my friend Toby pointed out at the time, it made some rather broad assumptions around the capabilities of browser clients and certainly didn’t take into consideration all of the technical and compatibility issues that accompany inline scripting. Ever the diligent online elf, Toby passed along a pointer to this recent article over at evolt.org, lovingly titled: Links & JavaScript Living Together in Harmony. It does a much better job of describing the how, why, and whatfor of using JavaScript in the realm of the href. Not only does this article provide a much more thorough and browser-agnostic take on creating pop-up windows, but it also tackles a few more complex implementations of scripting in terms of client side dynamics. Basically, I’d like you to just forget that I ever mentioned that other link. Thanks.
