So you just need to look at their code to find out what name they're using, and then make a frame with height=0 with that name, and all the popup ads will appear in that invisible frame.

It may not be possible because I believe the ad code usually gets added to your page as a footer. So you don't get the choice of putting it where you want in your page.

If the ad code isn't inserted at the very beginning of the web page, then at the very beginning, reassign the window.open function as so:

temp = window.open;
window.open = new Function("return true;");

then, later on, after the popup ad code, if you need it, reassign window.open:

window.open = temp;

Another option: sometimes, in order to keep all popup ads in the same new window, they give the window a name. However, the way the JavaScript window.open function works, if there's already a window with a certain name, it uses that window. So you just need to look at their code to find out what name they're using, and then make a frame with height=0 with that name, and all the popup ads will appear in that invisible frame.

"assuming those links don't fix your problem"

who are the providers? or is that a secret? it would make it easier to help you with the code...

since the advertisement code is in the footer, it's a good chance that the last elements of the page are dynamically created by the ad-code and they should be the last elements of the page.

I never tried it, but this should work:

...
<script>
function closeBanner(){ //example is written for IE.
var alldiv = document.all.tags('div');
alldiv[alldiv.length-1].style.display = "none";
// alldiv[alldiv.length-2].style.display = "none";
// alldiv[alldiv.length-3].style.display = "none";
// how many ever elements there are created by the ad-code, just keep adding above line...
// and in my example, I assumed that the banner element is a div (works in geocities ).
}
</script>
...

<body onload="setTimeout('closeBanner()', 2000)">
