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.

Any suggestions?

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.

Thanks its nice to see some kind words by people who understand a good thing when they see it :)

Smokey

Ill be in touch.

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.

poppud all on google toolbar

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.

Smokey...
Is there anyway to change the Popup on enter code so that it will popup "behind" the main window?

Thanks!

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?

yes just blur the window that pops up.

well you could do it either way

in your body tag on the page you want in fron * the one that loads the popup. you could add this to keep the window on top of the other windows

< body onblur="focus()" >

or in the popup page you could put

< body onload="window.blur()" >

or you could put both :)

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.

Like

< i'frame src="onexit.html" width="1" height="1" >

then put the poponexit script in the onexit.html file

remove the '

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 >

:thumbsup 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?

Thanks, Kamilla

bump :Graucho

Ill try to get something up that has more in depth examples.

That would be cool as it seems like you're still working on it and upgrading it :thumbsup

Thanks again!
Kamilla

Smokey drop me an email. william at perlcoders dot com

bump

will do , or you could pm me thru gfy

Anyone still has those popup codes? :Graucho

PM doesn't work, and hasn't worked.

Using google toobar.

None of the pops got through :thumbsup

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.

Popup

Oh and having a mac may also help :Graucho

Uh-oh :Graucho

Error 400: Bad Request on all 3 for me.

none of them got thru google

Not true... I remember when this thread got posted I was already using the Google bar and the popups got through...

Just go through this thread and you'll see my reply over here...

im using xp google tool bar and they didnt work

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.
