Finished reading Chromosome 6 by Robin Cook, well honestly after Toxin I didn’t really expect anything better from Mr. Cook, but he did come up with a wonderful story.
Dr. Jack, who does autopsies(dont’ know if I spelled that one right) in Newyork city ends up in Western Africa trying to find out the source of a transplanted Liver.
While in Africa, Dr. Marshall with his two friends try to find out what had their tests, experiments resulted into.
New browsers like Firefox(my fav.), IE 7 are very intelligent, they will not allow the standard popup of window.onload or standard…
... <body onload="load_popup()"> ...
They have decent pop-up blockers, which we want to escape.
The new browsers, will consider it a spammed popup, and will kill it before its spawned. They will only create a popup if there is user interaction, as you can see, window.onload and body’s onload is not user interaction.
So, how should my advertiser’s pop-up be displayed? What user interaction should I wait before I get my popup?
There is a trick, you users must have crossed by but may be you have not identified it. You can pop a window on any user interaction, and such a action is not considered as spam pop by Firefox.
What we do is add an EventListener to a particular piece of content, which u are sure that the visitor is going to read. Browsing habits state that most user often keep clicking and selecting a particular text which they are reading. And that is our exact target.
Let us consider within our page, we’ve got a div with id named as “article”. What we’ll do is add a click event Listner to it.
<div id="article">
...
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function make_popup() {
// open any popup window you want.
url = "http://www.yahoo.com/";
window.open(url, "popwindow", "width=550,height=300,status=0,directories=0");
}
aid = document.getElementById("article");
aid.addEventListener("click", make_popup, false);
// Adds a click event for div tag with id article
// Which spawns the popup.
</script>
And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.
But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird.
The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire
and thunder upon them. For the beast had been
reborn with its strength renewed, and the
followers of Mammon cowered in horror.
A lot is still unexplored in this area (of JavaScript). I shall try to help out others, who are keen to get with it.

World cup is mine
We are the champions
Zidane’s head butt
Germany went down 2-0 to Italy in the dying minutes of the 2nd Extra time. Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Del Piero were the ones to make the killing blow on 119th and 120th minute of the match.
England yet a went down on Penalty Shootouts against Portugal. It was Lampard who missed the first, Gerrard’s shot was beautifully stopped by Ricardo, and Carragher was too nervous to take a penatly the second time after he hit the shot before referee’s whistle.
England are never gonna win the World Cup it seems! 🙁
Leeds went down 3-0 against Watford in the Playoffs final for Premiership. Leeds will now have to wait for another year before they have a go at the Premiership climb.
