what are those popups that get past the blockers?

Because it was loaded with the web page the blockers cant block it. If you want to be nasty and antisocial you can make it follow the mouse and cover each thumbnail till the user clicks on it to make it go away, linking to a new window with a further site in a frame with code that sends it to the back - a pop-under. Because this resulted from a user request (a vanilla mouse click with no javascript) the blockers wont catch that either!

sounds like the ticket I am seeking. Well I dont need the mouse following stuff, just a popup effect that gets past blockers.

So any recommendation on editors that do this coding? Or just the general method of HTML and javascript that gets the "create a whole page section that looks like a pop-up complete with all the chrome but is positioned off the screen" happening?

thanks
