If you click on the label it should open a new window with no toolbars/addressbars which works fine in IE6 FF and Safari but not with IE7, it opens up with an address bar which means the site does not quite fit on a normal laptop screen!

Any help greatly appreciated.

I don't know if it has changed but check out IE7 Tabbed Browsing Implementation (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/05/26/422103.aspx)Regarding script, there is no "target='_tab'" feature or any direct access to tabs from script beyond what is available with multiple windows today. We are working on balancing the default behavior for whether a window opened from script opens as in a new frame or a tab. Currently, windows that have been customized, such as hiding a toolbar or making the window non-resizable, will default to opening in their own standalone frame, whereas ordinary pop-up windows will open in a new foreground tab. CTRL-clicking and middle-clicking links will open those links in a background tab. The rationale for opening only customized windows in a new frame is that this seems to correlate with scenarios where showing a window on top of the current window is desirable, such as replying to posts on internet message boards and getting a close-up view of items on shopping sites. Naturally we will continue to refine the default behavior and provide settings to customize the behavior. Even the wizard (http://www.cgiscript.net/cgi-script/csNews/csNews.cgi?database=js_windows.db&command=viewone&id=38&op=t) that I have used in the past does not work on this one

IE 7 doesn't allow you to hide the address bar for security reasons. This is becoming common practice in other browsers as well.

OK fair enough, so theres no way to hide the address bar basically. Thanks for your advice much appreciated! (thats not meant to sound sarcastic if it did)
