Note that a lot of pop-up blockers (IE in particular) cause onload
events to be ignored. I find it best to make the application able to
cope with the back button if it all possible (admittedly a lot of work
in some cases) but if you need to do this, there are parameters you can
pass into the window.open() method that will remove all of the "chrome"
(buttons, address box, etc...). For an example of opening up a window
without the "chrome", take a look at
https://consumersplus.thomsonlearning.com/db2www/affilwiz.mac/start.
This application (it's part of our B2C checkout process) also has
examples of passing data from the new window back to the page that
opened it.

You should be aware that opening multiple windows can cause usability
problems (particularly for inexperienced web surfers) so you should be
aware of your audience before you go this route.

Additionally, if you close the page that opens your pop-up with
JavaScript, the user will get a warning that it's being closed by a
script and should be avoided (unless you like complaints and support
calls). You can, however, close any windows that you open without
generating a warning.

Get get the window to change size at loadup, you can do this in the
<BODY>
tag.  But if they block JavaScript....

<body onload="moveTo (100,100);resizeTo(500,500)">
