IE7 has no back button in popups

["Keith Hansen" <KRH -at- weiland-wfg -dot- com>]

Perhaps this isn't really a tech writer question, but I thought SOMEONE
here might be able to shed light on this!

I have IE7. In my browser, when I click on a link that opens a popup,
the popup opens--but no Back or Forward buttons are displayed on the
browser's toolbar. 

I googled and found one site where another person had also experienced
this problem:

http://lists.webjunction.org/wjlists/web4lib/2007-August/044988.html

As she wrote:
"when IE7 is open via a javascript popup command, even if toolbar=yes,
there are no back or forward
buttons"

If I click on a link that does NOT involve a javascript popup command,
IE7 opens a full window with Back and Forward buttons.

My questions:
* Has anyone else encountered this?
* Any way to make the popup open WITH the Back/Forward buttons?

Thanks!

Keith
