Re: Pop up window!

Ok, sounds like the existing components can be extended to provide this 
functionality. I'm still on the learning curve when it comes to Tapestry.

I will be needing a Button to launch Tapestry pages soon, any 
recommendations on a good approach.

I think I'll need to spell check my emails so I dont get arrested.
