Get rid of popups

How can I get rid of popups on my site ?

[Qraze]

Hi!
I have a forwarding address to my acctual homepage.
The service opens a popup-window everytime I open the page.
Is there anything I can do in my index.html-file to get rid of the popup ?

Thanks for quick answers!

Mozilla [mozilla.org], and K-meleon [kmeleon.sourceforge.net] both have an anti-popup feature.

If your page is on a free webhost, is the host putting the pop-up there as part of the hosting service agreement?

If so, the best way to get rid of it would be to get a paid hosting account somewhere with your own domain name.

No. They have agreed to let me have a banner on the site instead of popup but I´ve to get rid of the popup myself. They sad that it is possible.

Do you know how ?

Look at the source code for your index.html page, and see if there is any javascript code triggered by the OnLoad event...

Qraze, is the popup from the host, or is there also one from the redirection service?

If you're redirecting from a domain name to a free host, please check the site search (top left) for redirection or redirecting; you'll find some information that you might find valuable.

If you are using Internet Explorer I found a nice pop-up killer called Guard IE. I downloaded it from Tu-Cows.

Worked well, and even prevented unwanted cookies.

QRaze it sounds like you are using Hypermart. Are you?

I tried them out months back and even when you go for the "above the scroll" banner you still get a pop up.

If you are with them, id suggest paying for hosting - elsewhere

I'm not gonna take the time to reasearch this or anything :-) but isn't there a child attribute in javascript? If so, can it be used first to test as a boolean and then to retrieve a name/names?

If so...

if (self.child)
{
self.child.name.close()
}

Obviously that won't work as it is... Just trying to give you the concept.

Well, I have to solved the problem now.
I´m using another service now and they don´t use pop-ups. :)
