Help! Popunder is popping up! Uses amazon.com link

[Barbara Ling]

Good morning,

I am at my wit's end regarding a rather
interesting popunder question. I have created
a test Star Wars page at

http://www.lingstar.com/tt/t.html

I would like the popunder to go to Amazon.com
for Star Wars books.

If I set the popunder to go to my star wars
page ( http://www.barbaraling.com/starwars )
it works fine.

Set it to the amazon.com link, it pops up instead
of popping under once it finishes loading.

Might anyone please illuminate me? I'm using
the Popunder Power script.

Thanks in advance,

Barbara

Assuming that you're linking to a page on Amazon.com, it could very well be
that amazon.com has code in their pages that forces whatever window they're
loaded into to the top, that there's a .focus() somewhere.

A "view source" might answer that.

And since you can not edit the amazon's code, you need to refocus your own
window to make things work the way you want:
setTimeout("window.focus()",1000);
The 1000 miliseconds is a guess. The onload event of the new window is not
available since it is in different domain.
May I add that popunders are even generally considered even more annoying
and less userfriendly then popups, and the various calls to focus() makes
that even worse.

I block all sites from my network where I find that generate popunder or
hidden popups. You don't know how many folks I've pissed off because they
can't go to Network Solutions website because of a stupid hidden popup
window.

You have ONE window... Use it as best you can, you aren't getting any more.
