It's not your fault, but do you notice that this explanation does not simply
say "a pop-up window on a Web site is one of many versions of a child
window."
Sorry. but I'm a professional writer, whose salaried work over the years
included specifically being a technical writer at times, as well as doing
corporate communications, public relations work and journalism. And so I'm
uncomfortably aware when things are simply missing from explanations, as
here. Please understand this is not to criticize you, at all. Thanks.

Subject: Re: child window
I have found this definition of child windows on a website and thought I
would post it here for everyone to look over.
Child windows are windows that are opened either automatically or as a
result of some user activity when using a parent window. They can range in
functionality
from the very simple to the full complement of controls. Some annoying
pop-up windows that appear when visiting some websites purposely lack
buttons for
closing them.
If you would like to check out the website that I found this information for
your own descriptions of other components of an operating system I have
provided the url to where I found the above information. There is a lot of
information on this page.
I hope this helps.
