Pop up window

I was hoping I could create a pop up window via the "behaviors"
functionality.

I am using the "Open Browser Window" functionality. Works fine..... BUT, I
don't want to associate an event with the pop-up, other than have the pop up
open automatically when the home page is called up, and "hang there" until
closed by the user.

???

what am I missing? or is this not possible.

Frank,
It is possible. My browsers block all automatic popups. When I receive a
notification that one has been blocked, I leave the site immediately and
never return. If you want to treat your views in that manner, someone else
will have to tell you how.
 
Users of Windows XP SP2 will have this blocked by default since it would not be initiated by a
direct user action of clicking a link.

Fair enough....

I'm just changing hosting cos and thought it'd be nice to throw a pop up
letting folks know about potentional unavailability...

thust a thought.
 
How about just creating a small image with that note, and placing on your home page. The reason I am
suggesting a image, is so that the text is not indexed by the search engines.

this is down with the "onload" event - It is still an event because
something has to happen to make something elsel happen
e.g. a user clicks on a link to make the browser load the new page. the
event is the person clicking the link; the result is the page loads.

Therefore, try out the "SPawn" addin on www.jimcoaddins.com

Be aware though that Internet Explorer, firewalls and other browsers will
most likely block windows opened by "onload" events. Therefore it is better
if you allow the user to open the pop-up if they want to using the "onclick"
event.

The "event"(onload, onclick, onmouseover, onmouseout etc etc etc) is the
thing that makes the popup....pop up.
 
Well you could just put a normal notice on a normal page in the site saying
"Changing hosts soon....." or something.
