3 questions;

1. How can I make a pop up close automatically when the visitor leaves the page the pop up is on?

2. Is there anyway you can stop pop ups being blocked? I have a pop up blocker but quite often still get them anyway so there must be a way. The pop ups I am using have relevant information to what I will be discussing with the visitor and I really need them to show or it will kind of defeat the object of my site.

3. How can I keep the pop up always on the top of the main window? I dont want it to go behind at all.

I answered your first two questions here:

3. That's impossible without creating and installing an Active-X control on the user's computer.

Many people loathe pop-ups; they are the Cancer of the Web.

If visitors have a pop-up blocker, they won't thank you for forcing pop-ups on them, will they?

If the info is so vital, why isn't it on the page?

New ways of ignoring visitor preferences do get developed, but they rarely work for long, as defences evolve too.

If you are still getting crap-ups "quite often", then maybe you need a better pop-up blocker. ;)
