Clients, but I can see their point. The way I am doing it needs to be
improved.
Yes, it does.
As brucie said, though, more people are likely to
leave because you use popups than because you don't.
Will the popup blockers block the TARGER=_blank also?
I would say that most would block that before anything else. But most
will block Javascript popups too.
You guys won't have to work hard to convince me not to do it, I just need a
good alternative solution.
brucie's butterflies is a good solution, but it will depend on the
actual application...
The site I am working with is
www.austinhomeandgarden.com. For an example
click on Construction & Remodeling.
Those are links? It took me a while to work that out. I think maybe it
looked too much like the Google ads, so I automatically ignored it.
Hmmm, while I'm here -
A bit of deprecated markup. Use CSS.

Tables (ab)used for layout.

Once you've done that, add a doctype (preferably Strict) and validate
your HTML. Your CSS has a couple of errors, too.

You're wasting over a third of my available canvas.

Justified text is hard to read. And looks really bad, e.g. on "Tips and
Links":
Austin Home Builders Association -
etc.
I do like the site, BTW. It has a nice look and feel.
The top image,
"Austin Home and Garden Directory" seems a bit fuzzy. Not sure whether
it is just my monitor, though.
I want a good way to show the full size ad, info about the business,
link to their website, etc.
I think that brucie's solution would probably work for you. You'd have
to customise the look of it to a degree, of course, but I think you
could do it.
While you're at it, check out

another take on the same idea.
Sorry, I just read that in another thread too.
Just don't do it again, or we might have to kill you.
