Pop ups

[K-Ci]

Excuse me but does anyone know the html code for having links pop up when a certain page is opened? But I will need to have not appear or leave traces anywhere on the web page itself.

Thanx for the quick reply. With no traces I mean that I just don't want it to mess up the HTML code or anything, and it should be anywhere on the page when viewing it. If I for exapmle enter the link into what should pop in that code I don't wan the link to be displayed on the page. And it should pop up the second somebody enter that page you know, if somebody enters my index page I want another page to pop up in a new window. Something like that.

Yes I know that one but is that pop up function also available in HTML or do you have to use java for that?
Thanks for the help Brian

That is not java -- it is javascript (so it loads without a delay)

There is no way to do it in straight html without javascript to the best of my knowledge.

javascript can do it
you can try to find a cgi script also. I've never tried to use or find a pop up script with cgi, but it should probably do it without leaving a trace on the html source either.

We will need more information. When and how do you want the pop up to pop up. Also please clearify what you mean by no traces on the website itself..

As a side note, you might also find it helpful to monitor your site traffic growth rate both before and after implementing the pop-up. Many users report that they hate pop-ups more than they hate banner advertising. Some site visitors upon encountering a pop-up when entering a site not only immediately close the pop-up but also immediately exit the site vowing never to return again. Not a particularly good way to increase site traffic.
