Hi Jim. 

If visitors have a Firewall product such as Zone Labs Zone Alarm PRO,
they can prevent pop-up ads.  I use it at home on my Windows PC and
haven't seen a pop-up since!  It's great for those game code sites that
the kids want to visit. You get blasted by pop-ups there if not
protected.  

I suggest you get a copy of ZA Pro and test it out while viewing pages
on your site.  Else, contact me for further information on how we can
arrange a test of your site / pop-up pages from my home PC.  This
weekend or next week would be best.  

>From my understanding, people who use the Opera browser can instruct it
to not allow pop-up ads/ browser windows.  Gotta love that!

Regards,

Subject: Pop-up ad software and window pop-ups

I have a site that uses JavaScript to pop-up a new and smaller browser 
window that contains additional information when a visitor clicks on a
link 
to them. If someone installs these pop-up ad killer add-on programs,
will 
that kill my good intentioned pop-ups, or is that different thing
altogether?

TIA
