If your not storing there cookie, Tek-Tips's splash page has neato torpoed Join Us form that drops from the top after the page loads. I figure its CSS, I found this code at the bottom of the page but I dont know how they made it dynamically drop.

Can anyone give me a hint, example or link to demo how this can be done?

<DIV ID=&quot;dropin&quot; STYLE=&quot;position:absolute;visibility:hidden;top:125;&quot;></DIV>

It is only a matter of time before blockers appear for popup-divs, just as they did for regular new window popups.

The more these things are abused, the more likely people will block em. Shame really, as there are very good (non intrusive) ways of using them - eg calendars for date fields.

:(

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
 
And once they're blocked, annoying people will come up with something even more dastardly to annoy us with - like building two complete documents in memory (one the real page, the other an add), then swapping them in and out of the document element.

... maybe I shouldn't have suggested that :-(
