No, it's a generic solution, should be pretty much the same across
browsers. Why not download more browsers and test?
I would also add a window.focus() to the body tag in the popup to
bring the window back on top when the user reclocks the link
<body onload='window.focus();'>

I think that's what I was considering doing with CSS except it
would be labels only in the content. I only wanted to retrieve the
data record from mysql if the user asked for the specs.
One issue is I don't want to leave the space available on my
regular web page and would like to try not to overwrite something
there - I'd rather have a separate window of some sort that sort
of floats over the web page.
The best way to have the popup work, even with popup blockers is to
have
a link like this:
<a href="details.php?id=1" target="details"
onclick="window.open('about:
blank', 'details','width=300,height=200');">More Details</a>
The onclick handler is called before the link is actioned, and it
opens
a new window with your settings, called 'details'. When that is
finished, the browser continues actioning the link, looks to find the
window/frame called 'details', finds one, and uses it. This way,
even if
a user has scripting turned off, the link still works and opens in
a new
window.

Ashley,
Thanks, I finally worked on the popup you suggested. That is the
closest to what I am looking for. I'm sure there are some other
settings that could be useful. For example, the popup window gets
hidden behind the primary web page if the user goes back there, and
does not come back if he clicks again.
But, my bigger question is this: Is this solution specific to MS
Windows. What would happen if someone were viewing the website using
Apple or Linus etc?
Here's hoping you see this.
Thanks,
Patrick
