Has anyone else tested the "Popup on Enter" with one of your own pages? The window does popup in spite of my popup killer, but none of the links on my popup can be clicked.
Originally posted by 49thParallel I just discovered a potential problem with the first variation. The window pops up....beats my popup stopper. But, when I click on any of the links in the Popup window, they no longer work.
Any way around this?
Are you targeting them as new windows or the same window ?
BTW i am smokey they banned my name for pointing out flaws in the gfy scritpt.
I have Google toolbar with popup blocker. and they all popped for me. I love to have that script ;-))
Soon the new xp has a build in popup blocker the youth growing up with those new Operation Systems will grow up never seeing a popup. Until they see Smokeys and than it will be so kewl to be only one in a few who has popups
So how about that exit popup script ;-))
Thanks its nice to see some kind words by people who understand a good thing when they see it

Build the popup window into a frame and problem solved

Actually it depends on what popup blocker you use. The popup on enter is not really a popup window, it's a modeless dialog. It's kind of like a hahahahahahahahahaha alert, except that you can specify the content. By nature, ANY link clicked in a modeless dialog will open in a new window, but if your blocker is well written, it will block those windows, so the links will appear not to work.
Google and Yahoo do NOT block popups that are initiated from a modeless dialog, but some other ones probably do.
Incidentally, I can't get the popup on exit to work anywhere. The example works fine, but copying the source and putting it on my localhost or one of my servers doesn't work at all.
A few more things you may have noticed about the modeless dialogs:
1. No menu or toolbar.
2. you can't use CTRL-N to open the page in a new window
3. right click doesn't work at all
4. Neither does CTRL-W
I still think sliding ads will be the next thing. We have been seeing major increases in sales of our windows slider ad generator over the past couple months.

Yes i was trying to get the biggest free one out there (popup blocker ) and those dialog windows can be a bitch to work with, same with the applets. But if you mess with them enough you can get them just right.

Im not saying they arent a good thing and i always liked them myself , but they are very browser dependent, they arent new , i notice more people use them as popup blocker increase , but sliding ads are basically the same thing. Same with flash overlays , they can be very nicely done and not wreck content.
But right now the money is in the popups still
I originally wrote the transparent watermark that geocities "branded" their websites with . 99% of that code was stolen from me . *well not stolen but , copied obviously.
Actually our sliding ads are pretty cross browser compatible. only the transparency is IE specific. Our generator is actually only the second method we have ever filed a patent on.

Well i havent seen every version but i just mean with my own experience.
Transparency is a key cross-browser +
but like i said i know that they will become handy , but once popups are gone there will then be a huge glut in sliding ads and then they will in turn be blocked. Staying ahead of the game is the key
Im not throwing in the towel on popups just yet and when i can see the market is gone for them ill already have something else planned * but def always a good idea to keep looking.
I like the second example, but I have a question:
With my previous exit console I used a code to make the console not appear when surfers clicked the members link or goto the payment processor with the following code:
a href="/members/" onClick="parent.exit=0" target="_parent"
This code does not work anymore with the exit console of example 2. Is there a similar code to aviod the exit console poping up?
Also is there a way to use the first example (enter popup) as a popunder?
If you want to use both the enter popu and the exit popup you would need to use an i'frame the main window pointing to a blank page with the popup onexit script on it.
heres a code that will display an alert window if the user is using a popup blocker.
You could change this code and make it so that instead of making it an alert if the user uses a popup blocker you could send the window to a different page so they dont get to see your stuff.
< script type="text/j*a*va*script" >
//<![CDATA[
var mypopup=window.open("","win1",'width=100,height=10 0');
if (mypopup){
mypopup.close();
alert("You do not have unrequested popup blocking on!");
}
else
alert("You have unrequested popup blocking on!");
//]]>
< /script >
Incorrect.
If your'e taking free content from a site and blocking the ads they use to pay for their internet presence, you're being an ass.
The end game that you glorified surfers don't see is the end of the most lucrative for of advertising on the net.
What happends when instead of a site making 2.00 cpm on a site they make .10cpm?
answer: they go away.
what happends when the adult site paying you 40.00 a sale loses 40% of their profits?
answer: you put the paper hat back on and thank your lucky stars you like the smell of french fries.
Assclowns who think popup blockers are good are either surfers or too dumb to be in this biz in the first place.
which one are you?
I totally agree!
"Pop-ups are 13 times more effective than banner ads that run the length of a page, according to research from Advertising.com published earlier this year." Read the article here: http://news.com.com/2100-1024_3-5110...?tag=nefd_lede
Thanks for the popup code Smokey!! Will you add it to a webpage so people can get any updates etc?
Originally posted by Smokey The Bear² I have 3 methods, the third one is the one i'm interested in doing a bit more thinking about , as it could be a great popup tool.

<i></b>In this demo you can close the popup by clicking back to the main window and pressing a keystroke in the window and it will close, but dont close the window without first closing the popup , or it will stay around.</i>
Its been tested on the yahoo and google popup blockers and it gets around both those on xp and latest i.e.
None of them works... I am using Mozilla with popups turned off.
I did not have time to read the thread just test them.
The one and only popup which confuses Mozilla even can be found here so far... it is excellent punishing hotlinkers.
WARNING! Don't click this folks. I told you.

if someone purposely chooses to block popups, they're sure as hell not going to buy something from a popup if it gets around their software.
lol they might buy a better pop up blocker
In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.
I liken attempts to circumvent popup busters with those who send out spams with pen1s and other munged words designed to circumvent spam filters.
Sure you may get sales but it is quite likely that you would have gotten those sales anyway without using those techniques. Think of how many sales pissing people off cost you... probably more than you gained.
