| Tonight, I went to http://www.adcritic.com/
|
| As I started to browse, all of a sudden the contents on the screen began
to
| fade out, and a large graphic animation of a phone appeared enticing me to
| click on it.  I avoided the temptation, and after choosing "close window"
| this "layer" disappeared, and the contents behind it slowly faded back in
| and I was able navigate the site.  While horrendously annoying, this is
one
| of those time where I was left scratching my head.  They cookie the site
so
| if you want to do it more than once you'll need to clear your cookies out.
|
| It appears the ad is in Flash.

maybe randomly? i wasn't prompted for flash

| But how it's interacting with the rest of
| the page, and the fact that it doesn't even hint to what it's doing in the
| source, leaves me scratching my head.
|
| How did they do that?

i'm blessed with the absence of javascript, but i strongly suspect that this
is what you are looking for:
