Creating POPUP WINDOWS IN ASP.NET

Hi

While my surfing through the net , i came across a website that despite the popup blocker installed (whether Yahoo, in-built for IE, Google etc) was able to show popup window, but it happens only the first time as i think it is cookie based...when deleted the cookies it again popuped up. The name of the site is www.netscape.com, can anybody explain how it is done

    I would be cautious about using those DHTML pop up libraries as the future of the DHTML control in IE7+ is currently up for discussion.

    Not 100% sure but I would imagine that the popup you are talking about is not actually a new window but uses DHTML to give you the impression of a new window (hence there is no popup for your blockers to block).

    Hi!

    There isn't an easy way to do this unfortunately. DHTML is the only way, and even then, there are some loop holes that may be closed soon. If you want an automatic pop, you're likely out of luck. But if you want a manual pop, you can do that by using javascript. Try doing a search for javascript to open a new window.

    The best place for asking ASP.NET questions is on the ASP.NET community site, and in the forums there. Check out http://www.asp.net/welcome.aspx tabindex=1&tabid=39.

    HTH,

    Sorry I don't actually use it much myself but there are two fairly decent DTML popup libraries that I have come across before:

    bosrup (http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/)
    Ferant DHTML Studio

    Good luck!
