Re: [cgiapp] Generating a 'pop-up' from cgi-a

[John Day <suppressed>]

Thanks Cees,

Turns out what I really needed was the -target header to specify '_blank'. Some days HTML just seems to elude me! But I appreciate your remark about CSS, of course I am aware of the multiple media facility in CSS, but I didn't think of it in this connection. Maybe I should either go back to working in a real GUI or spend some time learning HTML and CSS properly.
