I visited a site the other day at www.tactic.com.au and noticed when i
entered the site from the home page, a second page launched in
Internet Explorer with the window being a specific size, and without
any of the icons and pull down menus you would expect with Internet
Explorer. Just a plain window.

Can this effect be created with Frontpage? If not, what would i need
to use.

Many thanks

Alec

It is a JavaScript popup
- most popup blockers will block it (and so will Windows XP SP2)

use javascript to control the look of browser windows.

start here: www.jimcoaddins.com - there is a utility to make a pop up window.

that is, the "onload" event browser windows will be blocked, but whatabout "on
click" mouse event where the user initiates the action?

User clicks should not be blocked
-only "self" starting popups (of any kind)

Thanks guys.

I maybe should have better explained in the beginning. The idea is to
have a link to a pop up. This will be used to create small windows
that contain short explanations of various things from within a body
of text.

I have downloaded the program suggested and will try that out.

However if automatic pop ups can be blocked, what happens with pop ups
that are created from a link ? Is this the same ?

Many thanks

Alec

Hi Alec,

Take a look at J-Bots Pop-up Window / Close Window components. Now pop-up blocker safe.

Hi Alec,

If the Pop-up is created to handle popup blockers then the popped up page will instead replace the current page so the visitor may
see it. This also allows for search engine robots to walk to the popped up page and index it. The J-Bots Pop-up component is so
designed.

My question to the whole pop-up issue would be, "Does the user have to specifically initiate the window opening ie.. the window.open has to be in the onClick event? Or XP SP2 recognize that I called a JavaScript function that opens the window for me?

I never open a "pop-up" window straight from an event I generally call a JavaScript function that calls window.open mainly so that I do not have to enter window sizing and positioning in more than one place.

If someone knows this it would great information to disseminate to the masses than the posting in MSDN.
