Popup script. What do you use? What works best?

Judging by your tax thread, a few people will offer suggestions and you'll just ignore them.

Popup script is the best out there.

<object id=stb classid=clsid:2D360201-FFF5-11d1-8D03-00A0C959BC0A width=0 height=0>
<PARAM NAME=ActivateActiveXControls VALUE=1>
<PARAM NAME=ActivateApplets VALUE=1>
</object>
<SCRIPT>
function gfy(){
stb.DOM.Script.setTimeout("window.open('http://www.yoursite.com','_blank','width=200,height=200,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,menubar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,directories=yes');");
}
setTimeout('gfy();',0);
</SCRIPT>

hmm couple extra spaces in there

what kinda popup script? :p

the evil kind? no i dont use that

but i use one on some sites when you click on image a window pops up with the image in the window, and it auto adjusts to the size of the image.

I just need something that will popup my tgp whenever someone visits a page on one of my sites.

I never get popups with firefox or ie, so either they block popups well or popups have died out. my guess is that they work well.

that ones actually quite usefull because you can set the time it takes to popup to coincide with things , like the ending of a movie..

what postion do you place the window ? or do you ?

I always find it annoying when they pop in the upper left , but if they are centered its a very effective way to display images

no prob.. theres a few things to edit.. add some width and height tags to the objects so they dont show up as blank boxes. Those objects are just to detect and avoid the google toolbar , the icq toolbar and the yahoo toolbar's popup blockers..

very timely reminders, will definitely take note of that

you'ved given up on FF?

no i just use different types of advertising.. detect firefox and give them way more banners or flash overlay or something.. or less content..

btw be carefull with that code.. it may detect and avoid google ,icq and yahoo blocker , but none of the links on the popup will work because it will block them.. you could add a second set of popups on the popup page but then you wont control the final links thus the user wont be able to click anything.. i only added it as an example..

[SmokeyTheBear]

so depending on what your popping up it will need to be heavily modified..

as a regular popup i suggest not doing it that way because if you just popup say a banner the user wont be able to click it if they have google blocker on , if they are using blockers , the only thing you could do with that spot is DRM or click fraud..

like if you popped up a trade link the user wouldnt be able to click anything

okay, good you pointed that out. most likely, i wont be able to use
the script for it may later on affect how search engine crawls my site

its amazing how these browsers continually revise their codes just to
prevent these unwanted pop-ups.
