there’s that lil widget … forgot about that one (name & where from) :!:
but just for the record:
…someone on an earlier thread on this subject brought up the point that with the surge of popUp blocking going on today - one may not even want to use them anymore as too many people will be set to not allow them…
In my opinion, usually when a designer wants a popup is when they haven’t worked out all of the useability issues. Good designs do not need popups. Granted, there are times they are needed, but 90% of the popups I see are not necessary.
Just my vent…
I hate it when I feel the designer is trying to control my world.
Aaaagreed Guigo… conservative use of these would/could be kosher -
Yeah but would content popUps called from flash be immune to popUp-Blockers ? Do they only ‘read’ from the initial page … perhaps because they aren’t using Js from the display HTML (???)

**content popups are ok, infact they´re awesome coz they save us the reload, but ad popups and spam popups…grrrrr :bad:
thanks for the tip anyway filete **
I’m talking about the famous site popup… I’m so tired of seeing an HTML page popup a flash site. Just because the designer can’t figure out how to design a site within the parameters available, they feel they have to <i>control</i> my little chunk of life. Flash is scaleable… use it! Design with that in mind!
These ad popups have ruined it for everyone. Deal with it.
