If you click on the link to the popup window, the popup window opens. If you then click on the page, the popup window goes away. How can I make it so the popup window stays on that main page until they close it?


For some reason, the popup window page (t.html), when you view the source code, has more code in it then what the webhost's editing page shows. In other words, when I go to edit the code, it shows that the code I have in there is just:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
zyXf(window) ;
//-->
</SCRIPT>


But if you go to the popup window page (t.html) and view source, it shows that this extra code below is there even though I didn't put it there and it doesn't show it when I am in the editing page.

What am I doing wrong?

<script type="text/javascript">zyXYx();</script>

Why use a popup at all ?? Popups are, basically, rude, which is why even the lagging IE will block popups just like FF Opera and others. If you're going to open a window or popup, TELL people that clicking that link will do just that. People are accustomed to using the BACK button so let them use it.

For example, on a product page, click on thumbnail to view larger picture. Or, it could be some kind of "REALLY IMPORTANT MESSAGE" that you just don't want people to miss,...

Popups are becoming less effective anyway with the high availability of popup blockers. Google toolbar has a popup blocker too...

Anyway, I believe the onblur param is what you're looking for.
Here's page that talks about it:
