Minor note, with the new syntax, the following would be better:

  <a href="#" 
   onClick="window.open('&dtml-absolute_url;/viewInfo>','','scrollbars=yes,width=640,height=430')">
   <dtml-var jobtitle></a>

Or, with 2.1, you could even use:

  <a href="#" 
   onClick="window.open('&dtml.url-viewInfo;','','scrollbars=yes,width=640,height=430')">
   <dtml-var jobtitle></a>

This version inserts the absolute URL (because of the '.url' 
in the dtml entity reference) of viewInfo.  This works even if called
from a sub-folder of the folder containing viewInfo.

What difference does this make.

It *is* a web page that is as physical as any other.
Javascript can't tell that it isn't a simple file.

Doesn't the above code work?

It should.
