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.
