In these days of popup blockers what is the best way to generate a popunder?

I am not a technical guy so a pointer to a resources (free or otherwise) would be helpful

Thanks

Find a site that has them and copy their method. Then be not surprised when you discover it was a waste of time and effort.

Remember, you can view both html source and javascript source code in most any browser. For javascript, just type/paste in the full url in the address bar having discovered the url by inspecting the html source code.

And besides, Firefox comes with popup blocking by default, so does the new MSIE for XP, AOL blocks popups now after being one of the worst popup offenders on the planet for years, so do many other large ISPs, they advertize this feature in fact, there's increasingly little point in doing something that annoying and frustrating to end users, and which will soon not be allowed by the majority of browsers out there anyway, you want people to like your site, not be annoyed by it. There, I didn't say don't use them, LOL...

There is of course no good reason I know of to use popunders anyway, although if there is I'd be interested in hearing it, there's always a first time for everything.

check your sticky, I actually gave you an answer to your question. I don't know why people have to reply with "don't use them" when it was specifically asked to not answer that.
if you don't have anything nice to say...

"I don't know why people have to reply with "don't use them" when it was specifically asked to not answer that."

Speaking only for myself, it's the same reason that if someone asks how to setup spam emailing systems I won't tell them. I know how to do it, I know what software to use, and how to setup the smtp servers etc, but I'm not going to tell a wannabe spammer how to do it since I hate spam...

It's hard to spend time or energy helping someone implement something that has no positive benefits to anyone out there, techniques that are different faces of spam. As I noted, I would be interested in hearing if there is any positive use of a pop under however.
