I have added a temporary “notification” page to my web site, but do not have a Pop Up Blocker installed on my machine, so I cannot tell if it will defeat the display.

Would someone who has a pop-up blocker be willing access my site and see if that new window displays for a few seconds?

Thanks
 
Hi Bill,

My pop up blocker stops it from coming up.

I see the attempt, but not the popup.

(Google toolbar)

If disabled, I see the vacation popup

Thanks, Mike.

I am using an “action” in the header of the home page.

Do you know how pop-up blockers work? Do they sense a particular .html code? Do you know of any workarounds?
 
Why not just put the notice right on your index.html ?

I think many of the blockers like Google's look for an open new window command that wasn't initiated by a click of the user's mouse.

I agree with Mike - you may just want to put it on your home page without the popup, or maybe just a really obvious link to VACATION NOTICE or something. You also have plenty of space under the "Contact Us" on your nav bar..

I also didn't quite finish reading the popup before it disappeared. I think I was distracted by the last phrase on the notice - "My wife's dragging to some kind of family thing.." LOL, but Captain English might want to put a "me" in there after the "dragging" part..
 
Oops, I was hoping “me” wouldn’t have to go to this family thing, but if Cap’n English is lurking, I guess I’ve gotta change it.

I think I want to avoid another button on the bar. If folks are just looking for store hours and directions (like the vast majority of phone calls), they might not see and click on another button. If they’ve got a pop up blocker like you guys, they just might have to show up at the store to know that I’m gone.

I may just have to generate a “hide/show” notice for the notification to alternate with the store hours..... when I get a few minutes and remember how to do it.

Thanks for your help!
