How much control can you have over a popup as far as where it pops on the screen, size, etc?

Problem would also be that you have no control over whether it appears at all - there's an increasing amount of people who have the things disabled completely.

What I'd do if you're set on using popups (and they're generally best avoided except in specific circumstances) then you want to use Javascript to activate the things and control size etc. The clever thing is that if you do it properly it will mean that if people have popups blocked they won't just get nothing - they'll get a "normal" link so they won't miss out on the content.

It's long-winded though, I'll warn you now!!

Here's an article listing all sorts of different accessible, seo friendly pop-up techniques: http://accessify.com/features/tutorials/the-perfect-popup/

They've even got an accessible popup generator - http://accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/accessibility-tools/pop-up-window-generator/default.php
