We use a similar method, which works well, but some Firefox users have complained that when the alert box switches tabs on them, which can cause confusion if they've got several different screens open. Personally I think that's a small price to pay. Now that popup blockers are (more) the norm, popping a window isn't usually possible. I've been pondering an alternative that uses a JS timeout to do something HTML-y, like a div appearing on the side of the window to tell them. This probably still suffers from the "escape cancels timeout" issue reported down-thread. - Ted Carnahan _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
