Thanks again. > A lot of sites are moving to simulated dialog windows inside the page. They have a few nice benefits: 1) Since they aren't real windows, they do not interfere with other tabs or windows you have open in your browser. 2) Since they are actually part of the page itself, they will always either stay on top of the other page elements or else they will automatically close (whichever effect is desired). 3) They are not actual pop-up windows, so they won't be blocked by pop-up blockers. Granted, they depend on JavaScript, but then so did your other approach. http://www.google.com/search?q=div+popup+window Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
