/*
Popupwindow plugin for jQuery.
Takes a link and will create a popupwindow based on the href of the link. You can
over ride the default setting by passing your own settings using the REL attribute
of the link. You can have different setting for each link if you'd like.
To use just include the plugin in the HEAD section of the page AFTER calling jQuery.
After that, use jQuery to find the links you want and pass any parameters you want
2007.03.14 - matt@atre.net - edited to allow use of default values, make alias
settings cleaner and "do the right thing" is a user wants the window open in
a tab.
PopupWindow Example
Opens a popupwindow with default settings
Open a popupwindow with each link having it's own settings
