Random window.open accessibility question

[Colin Clark]

Steve,

I think you should be fine if the target isn't human-readable. Make  
sure the link or control that pops up the new window clearly indicates  
to the user that a a new window will open. You can use the title  
attribute for this purpose. A prominent close link in the new window  
will also be helpful.

Otherwise, you should be all set.
