Pet Peeve #8475: When making links to pop-up windows, specifically using the onClick mouse event handler, do not make the actual href point to the # symbol. Especially if your pop-up links are at the bottom of the page. This causes the browser to redirect to the top of the page because it can't find a named anchor. Use a javascript in the href, or make your href point to an anchor that keeps the user at the same spot. This pet peeve rant brought to you by Scratchie Records.
