Note about pop-up blockers: Some security software is very aggressive with its (perhaps overly) protective features. This can result in a requirement to hold down the control key to make some links work and, in such cases, the linked page may show up underneath the page you were viewing, rather than above it as you would expect. Google Toolbar, among other things, can cause this behavior.
