Re: Micro-managing External Links

numero = 67223
interpreted = N
texte = Sam, That looks like the ideal solution (and MUCH simpler than the road I was about to travel), only prob I can see is that the solution is defeated by pop-up blockers (Google Toolbar just killed it), and the client specifically requested that my solution not be defeated by pop-up blockers, since the goal is not to do a 'pop-up' per se, but rather to open a new window that shows the disclaimer and then says 'click here to go to the external link.' Any thoughts on this... contact me off-list if you want. -Dan On Tue, 16 May 2006 09:14:13 -0700 Sam Lewis
