I have been to several web pages that have a cute little IE pop up with personalized info on it, how would one do this? I'd really like to add one to my page. Any help greatly appreciated

Suzy, can you give us an example of a site? I'm not sure that this is something that actually requires flash or multi media, so we might move this thread to the HTML area.

If all you want to do is cause another window to pop open with some information in it, you can accomplish that with simple HTML. This might be the answer you are looking for: http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/links.html#new-window

Please let us know if you have other examples or mean something different.

I did find one, but you'd be unable to view unless a member, so I did take a screen shot to show you. Thanx again!

That's a javascript alert box, its exact appearance depends on the browser. Here's a basic one:

To make line breaks etc, see http://members.aol.com/grassblad/html/alerttricks1.html

I should add that returning visitors will soon get tired of it.

Thank you so very much I'm sure it will get old fast, but something different (for now) and I have the need to learn all of this stuff LOL You don't know how much I appreciate your help. Thanx again,

That's right, Suzy. When learning you should use all the stuff, the good and the bad. Besides, alerts are good for debugging JavaScript code so you have to know how to use one.
