Oh wise and wonderful monks, I am creating work orders from data stored in a file. I would like the work orders to be presented in a window. Like UPS does on its site when you go to print the label. Then my customers would be able to print a work order and close the window and either return to the screen that requested the work orders or find that there is another work order "underneath" the first one. So you see I want to layer the work orders as they are created, each one in it's own little window. I tried fiddling with CGI::header(), but either I don't have the right switches or it's not the way to do this. I've looked at UPS and other sites. The only thing I've discovered is they use JavaScript to do this. Is there a better way using Perl and CGI? Your devoted supplicant, Uncle Ron
