Pop-up
A pop-up is an element that appears over the current content. It may be a browser window or an overlay within the page; the two behave differently
What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.
What it is and how it works
Whether in a browser window or an in-page dialog, it should have a clear purpose, manage focus and provide an understandable way out. Critical information should not depend on a fleeting appearance. Its effect on the experience depends on timing and interference with the task, not just the name of the format.
