Popups

As anyone who has used nuBuilder would know, it uses popups.

In business applications (which nuBuilder is designed to create) there is a genuine need to have more than one screen open at a time.
This allows the user to have a customer screen and an invoice screen open, for example, allowing information on both screens to be compared.

Currently, when you open an invoice screen while there is another invoice screen already open, it will replace the old with the new rather than opening another window.

It has been suggested by some of the customers that we have developed nuBuilder applications over the years, that it would be handy to have 2 invoices open at the same time, so they can be compared.

There are a lot of reasons for having multiple screens open rather than using the traditional way browsers have been used in the past.

Now back when we started developing nuBuilder, monitors and resolutions were quite a bit different (much closer to the 8 inch laptops that are around today) and we started using popups to open these separate windows because it gave us more real estate in the browser and to cater for the 8 inch laptop brigade we need to keep it this way.

Alternatively, with the new generation of browsers, you can always set the popups to tab browsing!
