Generating and showing a popup

T

Timothy Madden

Hello

In my page I have a list of e-mails so that when I click the subject
a popup with the message will show. I can have the messages
in the list hidden in the page's source and I would like to generate the
source for the pop-up in order to avoid another conection to the server
for each message.

I know I can do window.open('javascript:"The message") but this doesn't
seem to work with everything else than literal strings. I know I can use
some createPopup function but I'm not sure why it is there to duplicate
the window.open function and how it works on other browsers then MSIE.

Maybe in the javascript:"The message" script I can include some references
to variables in the first window. window["orig_wnd"] doesn't seem to work
though. How does a pop-up comunicate with the window requesting it ?
