I agree a lot. I have spent the better part of a day ridding a
section of a website of some ("requested") js pop ups in favour
of normal links. Advantages, no js, easier to maintain in future
(they are trickier beasts in the file system and require extra
code and fiddlesome ' and " and ... you know...). But I am now
thinking that it does not look or feel as nice as it did! The
information was extra stuff, visual details of individual
products, also the pop up window was a cleaner and simpler "fit"
and helped the viewers not to lose their place... I might forget
about it now and throw away half a day's work and restore the old
pop ups. Damn! Decisions, decisions...
