[Javascript] pop ups

[Andrew Gibson]

RE: [Javascript] pop upsok, I was just worried I might have not known about
some technical
issues.
I quite the idea of a pop up to confirm a database entry or other
information
to do with a choice say, coz the original page is then still visible, giving
the
user an element of comfort.
I had an idea the popups weren't liked that were full of ads, like those,
(so I've heard)
on porn sites....where they just keep popping...!

I agree on the frames!

  I prefer to provide feedback in the same window. I also don't do frames
unless required by contract. I personally do like windows opening all over
the place, I find it distracting. Evidently there are a number of others who
don't like pop-ups:

  If you can control the visitor environment, more power to you. Again my
comment are only my opinion and we all know opinions are like elbows -- just
about everyone has them!

  Thanks, I found this worked pretty well, as I wanted
  the user the option of refreshing or not. This way I could
  also specify the div I wanted to be visible when the page
  refreshed.

   function refresh()


   opener.location='default.asp?div=favourites'
   close()
   }

  Bob, you said you normally wouldn't use pop ups for database
  stuff?
  Wondering why....in this case its a site I can stipulate requires
  Javascript  ?
