I browse using Safari / OSX and it blocks all popups unless I clicked a link that points to a window.open or <a href='xyz' target='_val'. I did not see any popups except when I clicked!
Try this on for size. http://www.paulhirsch.com/ex/popup/popthis.html The only way I've ever seen this thwarted is by completely disabling JavaScript, which is the kill-all for popups anyway.
geez.. your popup is hard to disable.. with that method i managed to disable the fastclick popups... edit: dammit.. your popup is hard to disable... firefox doesn't recognize it as a popup.. even when i set dom.popup_maximum (max number of popups displayed) to 0 (zero), it still appears..
That's because it's not popping into a new window. It's being controlled through an otherwise very useful and harmless DOM implementation. It looks like a popup. It smells like a popup. It acts like a popup. But it isn't a popup! The only way around it is to disable JavaScript entirely. Wicked, eh?
You can easily create unblockable popups (such as post-it-note styles, float-ins, and exit popovers) with Instant PopOver. InstantPopOver.com It's fantastic for a quick and easy turn-key solution. Sure you could wade through code found on the Net and get it down eventually, but for instant changes and quick customized popups, Instant PopOver is the bomb (but I guess I'm a little biased since it's my product). By the way, it makes post-it notes too. Hope this helps! Matt
I love it and the size is perfect!!! I trust since you shared it I can play with the code and use it on my site? I am just learning HTML etc. and this is exactly what I was searching for and ran into this post. Thank YOU and Google! smiles P.S. It seems I best get posting ...thus had to remove live link in quote ...sorry such a good link to remove ... lol
lol this thread is 177 days old (=dead) why did you resurrect it? it wants to sleep forever rip again
Before you go burying your thread, at another member's request, I'm creating a version of this popup that functions as a pop under. That's right, a DHTML, no-extra window, unblockable pop under! I'll update as soon as I have it ready
As requested, here's a little something that will allow you to simulate pop unders. It's actually kind of hobbled together, and it will require some fancy styling and oddly configured windows to fool your visitors.
