Rollin Rog, thanks...below is the actual script I can't get to work properly in Netscape? It didn't imply that it only works in I.E. anywhere, just after the first paragraph below it does indicate "in other 4.x+ browsers" (I'm assuming then that it should work in Netscape also?)..or am I wrong?
Script: Amazing Frameless 'Peeker' Popup Window
Functions: In IE4 and later, this script launches a type
of window ad servers call a "peeker" popup --
which slowly rises into view from the bottom
of the screen. This is a frameless popup
window without the Windows frame or titlebar
(that is, a "containerless" window).
In other 4.x+ browsers, it launches a standard
popup window.
Positioning, width, height, speed, and many
other parameters are settable.
Automatic closing of the window on leaving the
page may also be optionally set.
Browsers: IE4 and later
Degrades functionally in other 4.x+ browsers

STEP 1.
Inserting the <script> in your page
Put the following <script> </script> in the head
section of your launching page.
Set the variables as indicated in the script.
<script>
// Amazing Frameless Peeker Window
// (C) 2001
www.CodeLifter.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this header
// ----------------------------------------------
// set the popup window width and height
var windowW=214 // wide
var windowH=300 // high
// set vertical offset if you want the popup
// to rise above or stop below screen bottom;
var Yoffset=0 // in pixels, negative values allowed
// set the vertical motion parameters
var windowStep=2 // move increment (pixels)
var moveSpeed=10 // move speed (larger is slower)
// set the horizontal positioning of the window
// choices are left, center, right
Xmode="right";
// in left or right Xmode, set any offset from
// the screen edge here, if desired
Xoffset=35;
// set the url of the page to show in the popup
var urlPop = "yourpage.html"
// set the title of the page
var title = "This Is A Frameless Peeker";
// set this to true if the popup should close
// upon leaving the launching page; else, false
var autoclose = true
// ============================
// do not edit below this line
// ============================
var windowX = (screen.width/2)-(windowW/2);
if (Xmode=="left") windowX=0+Xoffset;
if (Xmode=="right") windowX=screen.availWidth-Xoffset-windowW;
var windowY = (screen.availHeight);
var windowYstop = windowY-windowH-Yoffset;
var windowYnow = windowY;
s = "width="+windowW+",height="+windowH;
var beIE = document.all?true:false
function openPeeker(){
if (beIE){
PFW = window.open("","popFrameless","fullscreen,"+s)
PFW.blur()
window.focus()
PFW.resizeTo(windowW,windowH)
PFW.moveTo(windowX,windowY)
var frameString=""+
"<html>"+
"<head>"+
"<title>"+title+"</title>"+
"</head>"+
"<frameset rows='*,0' framespacing=0 border=0 frameborder=0>"+
"<frame name='top' src='"+urlPop+"' scrolling=auto>"+
"<frame name='bottom' src='about
:blank' scrolling='no'>"+
"</frameset>"+
"</html>"
PFW.document.open();
PFW.document.write(frameString)
PFW.document.close()
} else {
PFW=window.open(urlPop,"popFrameless","scrollbars,"+s)
PFW.blur()
window.focus()
PFW.resizeTo(windowW,windowH)
PFW.moveTo(windowX,windowY)
}
PFW.focus()
if (autoclose){
window.onunload = function(){PFW.close()}
}
movePFW();
}
function movePFW(){
if (document.all){
if (windowYnow>=windowYstop){
PFW.moveTo(windowX,windowYnow);
PFW.focus();
windowYnow=windowYnow-windowStep;
timer=setTimeout("movePFW()",moveSpeed);
}else{
clearTimeout(timer);
PFW.moveTo(windowX,windowYstop);
PFW.focus();
}
}else{
PFW.moveTo(windowX,windowYstop);
}
}
</script>
==============================================================
STEP 2.
Triggering the popup window
Call the openPeeker function from an onload event in the body
tag, like this:
<body onload="openPeeker()">
Note that the 'peeker' window will not start until the main
page from which it is launched has fully loaded.
