Opening and Closing Windows.
You can open a new browser window by going to
the
File
menu and selecting
New Window
(Netscape and Internet Explorer), or you can
open a new window from a JavaScript program with the window's
open
method. These
little windows are commonly called popups. When creating these windows, keep in
mind that all major Web browsers now offer popup advertising filters, and your viewer
might not even see the popup.
