Popup blocking.

Is using Javascripts new.window method a bad idea due to pop-up blockers? I'm not sure how strict they are. Does anybody here avoid creating new windows at any cost?

I try to avoid it because it takes forever

Probably just too many crappy add-ons.
Have you considered using an absolutely positioned DIV popup? or do you need some sort of satellite document?

I've never understood the div tag. I've seen it popup in CSS templates I've used but I quite frankly haven't got a clue what it does. I feel I should know this as I see it quite a lot. So probably by the time you finish reading this sentence I will have gone through a tutorial and know what it is, why to use it and how I can use it to do what you suggest

Just do not open new windows. Most users would like to decide themselves whether to open a new window or not.
If it's for a small message or image or so, use something like
lightbox

That's very funky. I've saw a couple of websites that do that and I've never found which technology is used to do it, untill now.
