I don't use pop-ups all to often anyway. Everything else I'm pretty much covered :D</p> Interesting read, thanks for that. I don’t use pop-ups all to often anyway.

For instance, IE will block all popups <i>except</i> for popups created with window.createPopup(), which is a proprietary Microsoft extension since IE 5.5.</p> <p>Another thing that's interesting is that IE will block all file downloads that are the result of a web page redirect, but not those that are the result of a mouse click. This would therefore be incompatible with the way sites such as sourceforge.net or download.com currently handle downloads (Your download should begin shortly... etc).</p> Some of those choices are very interesting.

It's the small website operators who will be in deep doodoo. More browser specific code. "Microsoft - annoying like a mosquito, taking blood from everyone". I'll be interested to see the fallout after the new version. I see this being broadly applied instantaneously thanks to Microsoft's instant updater, so the shockwaves should be unstoppable.</p> Big companies with experienced developers will be able to code their way out of these inconveniences.

My visitors aren't going to do that. Is there a work-around for this?<br /> </p> I just started creating sites and stumbled into a problem - sp2 won’t allow Dreamweaver rollovers (maybe all rollovers?) without specifically changing the browser settings to allow it.
