I'm looking for a popunder window in coldfusion which opens when the page is loaded.

Frankly, there are reasons browsers have popup blockers and you should perhaps reevaluate how you are interacting with the client...

that being said

Coldfusion can't help you. All CF does for its things like cfwindow is take an existing javascript library (ext, yui etc) and create a wrapper using a tag. If you look at view source you will see it's all just JS. And being JS, you won't have any better luck with popup blockers using CF.

I second the suggestion for reevaluation.  A lot of users find onLoad popups very annoying (myself included). However, cfwindow isn't technically a popup. Internally it's just a <div> tag, not a separate browser window.  So iirc, it shouldn't be blocked.

duh yes agx of course you're correct cfwindow wouldn't be blocked (although I don't think you could do a cfwindow to go -under- anything)

I guess I was simply too enraged by the thought of a popup to think clearly - that and it was before 8 and pre coffee :)

however, it still applies that cf can't help with a pop up or pop under..

cfwindow can reveal a pseudo popup (which as agx points out, is simple manipulation of div css)

I'm not sure, but you're probably right.

Yep. Like you said, a popup is popup no matter what javascript wrapper you use to create it. So it will still be blocked. No way around it.

guys,

get off your bandwagons.

this is for an internal site. we want the popups to show certain values to our reps.
when you assume, it just makes an ass out of you and me.

Anyone else?
