I was reading this thread where Cerulean was asking about creating chromeless windows and liorean asked

quote:
Do you mean a real popup, or a DHTML simulation of a popup?



I'm going to show my ignorance and ask "What is the differnce?"


I had always assumed that you create a pop-up window using dhtml (JavaScript or VB, etc); using the open function in JavaScript, for instance.

What is a real pop-up?

real popup = a new browser window summoned thanks to the target attribute of an A tag, or via a window.open( ... )
DHTML simulation = well ... a DHTML simulation of a browser window made of DIVs and what not.

Hope the things are more clear now,

With all the problems with people abusing "real" popups and all the counter-measures employed against them, DHTML simulated popups have added appeal.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Another potentially dangerous one, used by the phishing community once again.

I played around with that IE-specific createPopup() a bit (I assume that's the one you mean) a while ago - it still works under XP SP2 last I checked.. and you can still position one on top of the address bar etc. among other things. Quite disturbing.

Thanks for your answers.

Ini: I had not been aware of that means of making a pop-up.

Hasn't "target=..." been depricated?
