I have a website www.anafricadream.co.za, on many of the pages I have a link called REQUEST A QUOTE, I would like this link to open a form ontop of the page I am working on with a form inside it that a user could complete and submit to me, once submitted I want the form to close.
Is this possible to do in such a way that pop up blockers do not stop it.

Please help

P.S. I would also love some suggestions on how I could track what REQUEST A QUOTE button was clicked at the time of the form opening, so I will know what product the user is interested in getting a quote on.

Thanks Guys

In all the browsers I have tried, I am able to use JavaScript:

function openWindow(url,name) { window.open(url,name, 'width=480,height=650,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes ,status=yes'); }

Without it being blocked by the block Pop-up window feature.

To keep track of the users who choose to Request a quote,
you could write a PHP script that could write the event to a MySql
table.

You'd be better of using one of the many "inline popup"-scripts (I'm quite tired, right now I can't come up with a better name for them), many of which can open both images, inline blocks, AJAX content, iframes, videos etc. You could open another page through an AJAX call and display it in such a popup. Some examples I can think of right now are Slimbox, Highslide, jQuery UI, Lightbox, Thickbox and Fancybox. Take your pick and Google away

EDIT: The advantage of this solution is that the browser doesn't actually open a new window, only a new element within the same page. So unless one deactivates javascript completely, it will not be blocked.

Yes, Lightbox would be the best and easiest way to go. It's very powerful, and is often used for more than just images.

Not a bad idea but make sure something as important as your Call to Action function degrades gracefully for the small percentage of people who dont have JavaScript enabled (and screen readers).

thanks for the ideas everyone, I am looking into an extension by DMXzone called Advanced Layer Popup, because you can then also drag it out of the way and see whats going on underneath it, will let you all know how it works out.

Just for the heck of it did anyone take a look at the site I am working on, and did anyone have any issues with it, cause I can not even get it to display on my android browser on my tab and android smart phone, only the sidebar navigation and the footer and the picture are visible, all the text and text containers are gone, although it works on my ipad and iphone.

The one you've made is pretty cool. Does it work on smartphones?

To be honest most of this site is not working on an android at the moment, i have no idea why but the entire main text panel is missing on my android phone and tab, I figured I would cross that bridge when I am done with the design

I was going to suggest the same thing, lightbox.
