A major hack I've made to many of the admin pages is to make the admin links standard rather than use popup_link as that will give my user a more consistent experience. (plus Firefox didn't like the popups)

It seems to me that by doing so I've created a stack of work should I ever decide to upgrade and wouldn't it be nice if there was a config setting for popup or same window. Then the code could look to see how a link should be written and if the dismiss buttons are needed or the menu should be shown.

Just a thought. Maybe G2 has it. Haven't looked at that, committed to G1 for this project.

thanks

Sarah

G2 doesn't use popups, but G1 is incredibly unlikely to change at this point. We test the popups in all common browsers, and they work great. (I use Firefox, personally.)
