Welcome to DHTML/Ajax Popups!

Since new versions of all modern browsers block almost all JavaScript event fired popups, webmasters that made legit use of them were left out. By legit usage I mean popups involved in site's functionality very useful as usability since they save bandwidth and time by not continuously using the main document for information sending and finally displaying it.

While the goal of the popup blockers is almost achieved nowadays, to keep out the intrusive popups, the only alternative for fair webmasters is the usage of DHTML popups. These are not regular windows controlled by your GUI operating system component; in fact it is pure HTML controlled by the browser via JavaScript. They would also qualify as a part of the so-called AJAX technology, therefore are also named Ajax popups too.

Not only DHTML popups are not blocked but also they are not disturbing the user experience by creating a new window. It resides quietly in its browser tab or window until closed.

The ultimate goal of this site is to teach you how to design, trigger and display DHTML/Ajax popups and how to "beautify" them in order to be as user friendly as possible and to be effective, achieving their initial purpose for which they had been designed. These popus can be enhanced as to be displayed at a certain moment, to be movable within the browser window like a regular dialog box, to appear through a drop-down effect or to slide in and much more.

Welcome to our site dedicated to DHTML popups and I invite you to continue your visit here!
