Is it possible to use javascript to open up a pop-up in the game editor?

What about the game description page?

In forums with Source?

The profile page?

 think so, but I'm not sure.

I know it's possible with HTML.  With HTML though, you have to make the pages somewhere.  It'd look something like this:

<a href="www.something.com/something" target="_blank">Answer</a>

*Bump*

What?

I said bump.  You know what it it right? lol, You know what it means.  I'm asking if it's possible to use javascript to open up pop-ups on those areas.

The answer is no.  Scripting is disabled in the editor.

I meant what was ur question.

Could I use Javascript to make a pop-up.  The answer is no.

Too bad that would be cool.

You can still use HTML.  Go into source and put in something like this:

Visit <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google.</a>.

It would show the following:

Visit Google.

I guess it will have to do.  It takes up excess webspace though for small custom messages.

It would also allow for some nasty "Cross Site Scripting" attacks, too ... this is why the SCRIPT tag is not allowed.

Do you mean like going into a members games etc?

It does have advertisments on MAG.com.  It's for CYS.com.  lol

ahahhaha

nope, cuz we have hte best of both worlds here. a cys and a mag.

but more mag which is an added bonus.

Wow your a rival to einstein.

I hate pop-ups. They often leave spywear and crap on your computer. I ahve spybot and If i google something and get pop ups it always finds these stupid adwear programs it puts on the computer!

I mean pop-up alerts.  They don't leave anything on the computer after leaving.

Oh those pop-ups are ok. I was talking about different ones, they are usualy for online gambling, or saying you have sywear and it will fidn it and stuff.
Message sent things are all good.

yeah alerts are fine.

Does that happen with the Message sent pop-up's?, I have never had it. I have had it with the pop ups form google and stuff.

There's one easy way I know to stop this.  Get firefox, than, you want to download Adblock Plus on the firefox downloads section.

i hate those.

I am going to get Mozilla Add ons and see if that stops some of them.

I advise you get firefox only.  You don't need the who Mozilla Suite.  Adblock is perfect for these things.  I btw, have stopped tons of unnessicary pictures from being shown (such as 2330 instances of JJJs avatar, and 1458.  Of all the other ones, the max is 111.  So, JJJ, I advise you at least, to get a pretty small picture as your pictures take up 3/5 of all the avvies I've blocked.  I haven't even blocked 200 real pop-ups yet and today only, I have viewed 651 pages.  I got adblocker 3 days ago, but I don't know how many pages I surfed those days (as I didn't have the other extenstion that I have).)

lol. my dad try's to do that, but infact usualy is installing free products that turn out to be bad things themselves.

I got this pop up blocker that works sooooo well. Though, it kinda kills every pop up that ever come up, so you have to press ctrl if you want a certain pop up to pop up.

oooh, pop up to pop up, >.<, that took a while to type.

Yea. I know what you mean, When I get popups it is hard to get the ones I want to work coz of all the blockers.

Yup! And I very much agree with all of you - to hell with pop ups!

Except for cool pop ups, like message sent, new mail, etc...

Just to clarify, those aren't pop-ups, they are alerts.  Alerts are made by javascript to tell somebody a message.

Pop-ups, on the other hand can be deleted by using Firefox and Adblock Plus (an extension).  It kills 99% of pop-ups and AD BANNERS.  How does it do this?  It blocks certain images and even certain websites (no good ones though) so that you don't have to see them.  I advise getting the lists of ads to be blocked.  I've only seen one, and that's because it was such a specific image name for a certain site.  I ended up personally blocking it myself.  Another good thing, is that you can block any image you want to.  I have blocked most of the avatars on this site (17000 total avatars blocked) and wow, I look at a lot.

Kill the pop ups. Kill the pop ups!

Yes, they are evil!

yea, but it does do a good job.

ok, so he is  realy a internet sales person for mozilla, and he is trying to pitch it!

lol. I was joking, you dont need to be so literal. I think it is free.. mine was.

lol, There are add-ons you have to buy.  I haven't found any yet though.  Everything on Mozilla is free.  You have to search the web if you want to find one that costs money.
