HTML - Multiple Pop-up Windows

12-08-2004, 06:28 AM

Beauregard,

I just check with tds.net, and it looks like they do provide CGI for the
standard FormMail script, so that looks like the way to go as far as
submitting forms.

Thanks to the release of Windows XP's SP2, your new window can now very
easily get caught up by the built in popup blocker.
I notice tons of sites "not working properly" now and I just laugh my ass
off.

P.S. - Stop top-posting

Well, all I can say is some users won't get that info. It's the way their
browser/popup blocker works, and you can't control that.

You can blame them, but that doesn't solve the problem. No more popups
will solve your problem.

Why do you think you need a popup anyway? I can't think of a reason one
has to use them.

I did not try the form with IE <spit>. Just now tried Opera.

Opera: with JavaScript off, same as Firefox. With JavaScript on, a
small window with your 'thank you' message pops up over a frameset
page with that same raw code at the top, and a large *commercial ad*
in the majority of the page.

Please get out of the mindset of opening new windows. So far I have
seen zero need at your site for them. Even the Sound Bite page should
be just another regular page.

Depends on what is available at your web host, and your skills.

Please don't top-post.

Really? I naively assumed that pop-up blockers are for blocking pop-ups.

Yup.. and anything else that pops up.

A website gets ONE window. If it needs more then I don't use it.

LOL!

That's why I use Firefox... I was getting tired of the "Bobbit" popup
stopper. Much to extreme for me!

<stolen thoughts> Some people don't like it. They like to have a new window
in a size they are used to and if it is not that way they might leave your
page.</stolen>
