Kinda works in Opera; the window isn't a useful size.  I've given up
ever clicking on the name, since this is such a painful way to view
the gallery, and always use the thumbnail instead.

Javascript is a bad way to do this sort of thing; it's inconsistently
supported, often turned off (often filtered out by proxy servers for
security reassons).  You can pop up a new window if you really want
with a "target" parameter.  But really it's better to leave it to the
user.  If I want a new window, I'll request one. 

Short form: What's wrong is that you're using javascript.  If you stop
doing that, it'll stop hurting :-).
