"New" Washington State DOR website

[Karl Kuehn]

	This is because they are trying to be cute and position the new 
window, rather than doing the standard thing and just giving it a size. 
And then they are using a relative location in a JavaScript keypath that 
is semi-undefined... in other words, they are shooting themselves in the 
foot trying to make the client do things that either are pointless, or 
should be done on the server (where things are predictable!).
	They also have a really stupid while loop in there for no apparent 
reason... I could see a bug in it looping a client forever (spawning an 
infinite number of error windows). Whoever did this is just cutting 
their teeth on Web Apps, and eventually (hopefully) will learn...

PS... Why do I always seem to see this sort of thing on .asp pages? Are 
there no beginners using PHP?
