Open in new IE window without security warning

I'm building an online store. Each item has a zoom button that opens a larger photo in a new window. There's no problem when I test it in Firefox, but when I test it in IE6 I get an information bar with a security warning in it.

I'm familiar with the debate about the desirablity of opening new windows at all, and I'm largely in agreement with those who are against them, but my client wants the pop-ups. I've seen sites where the warning doesn't come up and would love to know the secret of how to prevent them. On my site, these warnings seem to be objecting to buttons on the parent window that open the new one, and on the child window that close it.

Thanks in advance,
Mal

Why not create a popup like DIV instead? Use CSS for absolute positioning and put the content of the "popup" in this div that appears when the user initiates something.

Using an external javascript gave me the same thing, but... only locally.

If I view the page via the intenet then I get no warning.
