What would be the most polite and effective pop up window with some
short explanation some termins etc.

Not for advertising, just a tekst.

Or... other alternative to pop windows.

TIA

Can use CSS for a child SPAN that normally is set to display: none, but
with parent element :hover pseudo class has the child SPAN set to
display: block on mouseover. If parent is not a link then your will need
some JS or the HTA for <=MSIE6

Or perhaps the title attribute which even works for IE6.

For a short blurb, a whole window isn't needed, -as others have explained.
However, if you really want a popup window (-for which javascript is
required under strict standards), label the link clearly as opening in/up a
new window.

If the message is *short* else some UAs will truncate...
