Re: Pop up window!

The string quotes is to stop OGNL throwing a fit, the JavaScript code quotes 
the string passed through in the popup.script.

This component is good for referencing static links like HTML help files, 
you arguably could use an Asset but it seems hardly worth the effort.  I 
think this component fills its niece pretty well.

I think another component 'PopupServiceLink' would be good for opening new 
Tapestry page windows.
