Here is my situation. I have an app running. There is also a pop-up window
with a list of places to call to followup sales leads. Each company on that
list is now a hyperlink that opens up the company information in that same
child window. To go to the next one, the user would have to use the back
button on the browser. I would like to have the company information appear
in the parent window when the company name is clicked in the child window
(it doesn't have to be a hyperlink). This would make for the cleanest app.
So, why is it "seldom a good idea"?
