iframe problem

popup blocker forces iframe to open new window

please forgive the lack of technical jargon i'm about to use .... well, not to use ....

when a link is clicked on the main page of my website, the content is supposed to be viewed in an iframe. instead, my popup blocker (Zero Popup 4.0) is forcing the html page i'm calling up to open in a new window. funny thing is that when i disable the popup blocker everything works as it's supposed to ... but of course i cannot convince the world to get rid of their popup killers ;)
if anyone can understand what i'm trying to say here, any help would be greatly appreciated.
most sincerely,
haiven (aka website retard)

Now that's a new one for me. I didn't know pop-up blockers that also messed with iframes. At first I thought it was just blocking any target= attributes, such as you would use for an iframe link.

But then you said your browser was still calling the new page, but loaded in a new window. Don't that just beat all!

I would suggest you poke around the settings in your pop-up blocker application and look for options about blocking user selected links versus automatically opened pop-ups.

I don't think this is common behavior for pop-up blocking and very few of your website visitors should suffer it. But for any that do, hey, at least they get to see your content.
