This popup discussion seems so difficult <chuckle> There's one product that simply WORKS......no problems..easy to use, etc., etc., etc. The problem for some......is it costs money <chuckle> Zero Popup 24.95 with life time upgrades (I know 'cause I just saw where it's at V7.6 and I still was on V 2.0 which worked flawlessly) http://www.tooto.com/popup-killer/ What is Zero Popup Killer?
