I have a web app that will basically have two types of web forms, a locator
form with a datagrid and a detail form.  The locator form will display a
list of objects such as customers etc.  The user will be able to either
click a button to create a new object, click a link to edit an existing
object or click delete to delete an object.  If adding a new record or
editing an existing I will display a detail form to fill in.  The user will
fill in the info and when done save the record and record to the locator
form.  I am torn between using javascript open to pop up the detail form and
then save will close it to return to the form below or to move to a new
browser window to display the detail form and then redirect after saving.
Which is the more accepted for data entry web sites and is more user
friendly?

as controlling two windows is difficult (popup blockers), a more common
approach is to use a floating div. the div would contain the detail
data, and javascript can display it. this will require javascript to get
smooth and quick.

Bill,
 I've also been avoiding popups for similar reasons. The floating DIV
approach is ok too but if you plan
to use UpdatePanels and other Ajax controls inside of them it can
cause problems.

Latetly, I have been directing the user to another page. It's much
safer and always works.
