hi!

ive started encountering problems with developing sites with pop-up windows. These pop-up windows are not for ads, theyre for picture galleries or to other html windows…etc. Ive gotten calls from 2 clients saying b/c they installed or their friends have installed pop-up blockers they cant see part of their site. Does any one know how to get through pop-up blockers,  
are pop-up windows dead or are there alternative methods?

any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

thanks,
