When you upload this webpage file to a web server and test it, NO message will appear. This message is not connected with any popups inside the webpage file and will be issued by Internet Explorer when opening webpages from the hard disk containing any kind of script. Again, once uploaded to a web server the webpage will NOT issue this message when viewed in IE. If you still wish to test from your hard disk in IE click on the message and ALLOW the scripts to run.

This issue can occur if Internet Explorer 9 is running in Software Rendering mode. 

By default, Internet Explorer 9 uses GPU Rendering mode. However, some outdated video cards and video drivers do not support GPU hardware acceleration. If Internet Explorer 9 determines that your current video card or video driver does not support GPU hardware acceleration, Internet Explorer 9 uses Software Rendering mode. 

To determine whether Internet Explorer 9 is using Software Rendering mode, follow these steps:

1. Start Internet Explorer 9.
2. Click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
3. On the Advanced tab, locate the Accelerated graphics section.
4. Verify that the Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering check box is selected.

If this option is selected, Internet Explorer 9 is running in Software Rendering mode. If the option is greyed out, your current video card or video driver are not supported by Internet Explorer 9.

There are several reasons for you to not see the popup in the preview window:

• You have chosen a Triggering mode different from 'Trigger the popup on enter (on page opened)' ('General Settings' tab/'Popup Triggering' section).
• You have set a very long delay for the popup in the 'Behavior Settings' tab/'Time Related Behavior' section/'Delay opening' field.
• You are using a DHTML popup and you have selected to use external button images for the close and/or minimize button(s) and the URLs you specified are not working. Try switching to simple button images ('Design Settings' tab/'Titlebar Buttons' section) and click the 'Preview...' button again.
• If you still don't see your popup, contact me (see the bottom of FAQ).

When using Flash movies on your web pages, be sure to set the 'wmode' and 'type' attributes of the <EMBED> and the <OBJECT> tags appropriately as in the following example:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
  width="720"
  height="80"
  align="middle"
  VIEWASTEXT>
    <param name="movie" value="flashnav.swf">
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
      <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        src="flashnav.swf"
        id="bios"
        name="bios"
        type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        wmode="transparent"
        bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
        quality="high"
        width="720"
        height="80">
      </embed>
</object>
            

Here is how:

Firstly, open Popup Toolkit and go to 'Popup Content' tab. You have two different ways you can format your close button/link text. For placing images and other HTML elements instead of text for your close link/button see method 2. below:

1. Place a stylesheet inside the popup HTML content that will format all links in the popup content. To do this, click on the WYSIWYG toolbar icon to switch the WYSIWYG in HTML code view mode. Then copy and paste your stylesheet code in the beginning of the popup content but precede the stylesheet code with the HTML entity &nbsp;.
   Example:

     
   <STYLE>
   A { color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold }
   </STYLE>
         

2. In the field 'Close link/button text (HTML):' place formatted HTML code instead of plain text. For example, place "<SPAN style='color: red'>Close</SPAN>". This setting will make the link color red. If you want to place an image or any other HTML element instead of text for your close link/button use the same approach and place in this field any HTML text. For example, to place an image use the following HTML tag:

   <img src='http://yoursite.com/closeimage.gif' border='0'>

   
   Note that you should set the src attribute value of the <img> tag to the URL to your close image.

Close Link (pseudo-link):

<A href='javascript: parent.CloseWin()'>Close the Popup</A>

Close image link (pseudo-link):

<A href='javascript: parent.CloseWin()'><IMG src='http://popup-toolkit.com/buttons/classic-light-X.gif' border='0'></A>

Close link (real link).
Note: This link opens the link URL in a new window. If this link opened the link URL in the same window then there would be no need to close the popup - the popup would be destroyed by the new web page loaded from the link URL.

<A href='http://banner-rotator.com' target=_blank onClick='setTimeout("parent.CloseWin()",0);'>
  Open http://banner-rotator.com in a new window and close the popup
</A>

Close button:

<INPUT type='button' value='Close the Popup' onClick='parent.CloseWin()'>

From JavaScript:

<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.CloseWin();
</script>

Note: The close link/button in the external popup content will work ONLY if the external content web page and the web page holding the popup have the same domains (i.e. www.somedomain.com) and the same protocols (i.e. http:// or https://).

To make a given link in the popup's content to open the page in the main (parent) browser window, instead of in the popup, use the target attribute of the <A> HTML element and set it to _top.
Here is an example:

<FORM name=form onsubmit="return ValidateForm();" action="https://.........." method="POST" target=_top>
  <INPUT id=formid type=hidden value=25 name=formid>
  <INPUT id=type type=hidden value=uname name=type>
...
</FORM>

There is a tutorial on this question here.

Very easily! You have two choices:

1. Use the Instant Mail-Send Buttons to send the form (see the 'Popup Content' tab, 'Instant Mail Send' section). This way the form will be sent through the visitor's mail client. Hence, you will get the e-mail address from the sender automatically.
Note: For instructions on how to configure your Instant Mail Send Buttons popup read the Instant Mail Send Buttons Tutorial here.

2. Use a standard HTML form in the popup content and DON'T use the Instant Mail Send Buttons. The form should look something like this:

<CENTER>
<FORM action="http://...........com/thankyoupage.php" method="POST">
  <TABLE style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif">
    <TR>
      <TD>Enter Your Name:
      <TD><INPUT name=firstname>
    <TR>
      <TD>Enter Your E-Mail Address:
      <TD><INPUT name=email> 
    <TR>
      <TD colspan='2'><INPUT type='submit'>
  </TABLE>
</FORM>
</CENTER>

Easy as 1-2-3. Here are the instructions:

1. Open Popup Toolkit and go to the 'Popup Content' tab.
2. If you like to place the HTML form as internal popup content then select 'Internal content - create the popup content using the HTML content editor.' radio button.
3. Then click on the WYSIWYG toolbar icon (see the screenshot below) to switch the WYSIWYG into HTML code view mode. Now copy and paste your form's HTML code in the WYSIWYG. You are done!
   
   
   
   HTML code view icon
   
   
4. On the other hand, if you like the popup to show the HTML form from an external web page then choose 'External content - show a specific web page as popup content' radio button and specify the URL of the web page below in the field 'Show this web page as popup content:'.

Go to the Popup Content tab.

1. If you have chosen the 'External content - show a specific web page as popup content' radio button then you need to simply add a hyperlink inside your content web page.

2. If you have chosen the 'Internal content - create the popup content using the HTML content editor' then you can easily add a hyperlink using the tool icon from the WYSIWYG's toolbar - see the screenshot below:

Click the hyperlink icon then choose your hyperlink address (for example "http://popup-toolkit.com"). Click OK and you are done. To edit your hyperlink attributes and text you can use the HTML code view mode of the WYSIWYG editor. See the HTML code view icon on the screenshot above. Click this icon to switch to HTML code view. In the HTML, find your link (<A> HTML tag) and edit the link's text and attributes. The link HTML element will look like this:

<A href="http://popup-toolkit.com">http://popup-toolkit.com</A>

The code in red color is the link text. For example to place an IMAGE as link text, just replace the link text with an image HTML element (<IMG> HTML tag) like this:

<A href="http://popup-toolkit.com"><IMG src="img-url..." border=0></A>

You are done.

Yes, there is a tutorial on this question here.

Here is how:

1. Open Popup Toolkit and go to 'Popup Content' tab.
2. If you like to place the stylesheet in the internal popup content then choose 'Internal content - create the popup content using the HTML content editor' radio button.
3. Then click on the WYSIWYG toolbar icon to switch the WYSIWYG in HTML code view mode. Now copy and paste your stylesheet code in the beginning of the popup content but precede the stylesheet code with the HTML entity &nbsp;  You are done!
   Example:

     
   <STYLE>
   A { color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold }
   </STYLE>
         

4. On the other hand, if you use external popup content then just choose 'External content - show a specific web page as popup content' radio button and specify the URL of your desired web page below in the field 'Show this web page as popup content:'. This web page should include in itself the stylesheets you need.

Go to the 'Popup Content' tab.

1. If you have chosen the 'External content - show a specific web page as popup content' radio button then you need to simply add an image inside your content web page.

2. If you have chosen the 'Internal content - create the popup content using the HTML content editor' then you can easily add an image using the tool icon from the WYSIWYG's toolbar - see the screenshot below:

Click the image icon then choose your image URL. Click OK and you are done. To edit your image attributes you should use the HTML code view mode of the WYSIWYG editor. See the icon on the screenshot above. Click this icon to switch to HTML code view. Find your image (<IMG> HTML element) and edit the image's attributes.

Yes, the URL may point to your local hard disk for testing purposes. For example, if you have an image on your drive D: called "icon.gif" then the Windows path to it will be "D:\icon.gif", but the URL to this same image will be "file://D:/icon.gif". So, use URLs for images like "file://D:/icon.gif" and it will work for your testings. Note that the URL prefix for local files is not "http://" but "file://" instead, and all subdirectory slashes are forward ones "/".

To make the sound stop when closing the popup, go to 'Popup Content' tab/'Popup Content Loading Mode' section and select one of the two options 'Load content on each opening of the popup' or 'Preload and load content on each opening of the popup' from the 'Popup content loading mode:' drop-down combo box.

The TRIAL version allows you to use all the software features and the main preview window, but you may not preview in different web browsers nor copy/install popup code.

This is the popup ID string. It specifies the unique popup ID, through which the popup is identified and manipulated. Here is also specified the generator version used to identify the popup code manipulation routines. Without this ID string the popup code is unidentifiable and cannot be managed by Popup Toolkit software.
