Launch temporary popunder pointing to external page

Can this be done?

[vich1]

I've been all over the place looking for an answer to this. I want to launch a popunder to stay open for about 5 seconds and then close.

The monkey wrench in the whole thing is that the popunder will not be a page I can control, it will be from an outside website.

So if you load [mydomain.com...] javascript should load [notmydomain.com...] underneath it, then close that window in 5 seconds, without having to put any code on otherpage.htm.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Vic

Not sure I understand why you want to pop a window *under* the main window, but leave it up for only 5 seconds. I can understand it for a popUP, but not popUNDER.

Anyhow, you might try loading the other site in a zero width frameset that you host on your site. The frameset page could have code to close the window in 5 secs.

Now that you mention it, no, it wouldn't have to popunder.

BTW, the reason I don't want to use an inline frame is because I'm trying to set an affiliate cookie on the user's system, and launching the page within either a normal or inline frame does not set the cookie.

That's really annoying, and I don't know why it doesn't work via a frame...
