I fully agree, but

should all use the same look and feel (and code) either popup window or popup bar based. BTW. How could we handle multiple popupbars?
Don't forget that one page can pop up multiple simultaneous dialogs (because although the modal dialog locks the GUI, it doesn't stop the IO callbacks from running). That's not a problem when each call to a_Dialog_*() pops up its own dialog, but what happens when several of them want to use the same popup bar? I guess each popup bar will have to manage a list of concurrent requests instead of just one.
Yes, it comes with effort. I'd say let's have the popup bar for META refresh (and faulty XHTML) and keep the popup dialogs. Now, if someone ;), comes with a better idea, with implementation, it'd be good to look into. BTW, I'm working on the dpi/dpip part (lots of things). Hopefully I'll come up with a solution for the dialog bombing among the bunch of patches/code-changes in my queue. -- Cheers Jorge.-
