I've been thinking for some time that perhaps it's time to expand the
scope of this group to include client-side scripting questions,
especially when overlap occurs which is certainly the case with xmlhttp
issues.

Not to mention the overall decline in the number of posts. I have long
agreed that most DHTML questions are "close enough" to warrant a response in
here, and AJAX blurs that line even more.

Contrast that with the way we routinely respond to SQL, ADO, and CDO
questions. It would get quite boring in here quite quickly without those,
and they are not really ASP topics.

I agree with Bob.

I OTH disagree. If a user wants to put windows features back on to a window
thats fine. I don't see why thats a problem. The problem with a draggable
div (on top of the added complexity of AJAX) is that its restricted to the
client area of the existing browser window. If you wanted to allow multiple
views of various items even further complexity is needed. Window.open is
simple and effective.

Bob, Which pop-up blockers block the use of window.open entirely even as a
result of user events such as a mouse click?

That's easy enough just answer the client-side questions (such as this one).
