I never click any "buttons" on a popup. Popups can display
whatever they want in their window, and a button does not necessarily do
what it says. In fact, "buttons' are often just pictures, and clicking
them is equivalent to a web page click, and can run javascript. That said,
I don't know that the popup has any more power than what is already on the
main web page.
