I am using the window.open method to show an explanation of a quote on one
of my pages. However, the pop-up blocker that comes with Windows XP's SP2
seems to block this (and I assume many other pop-up blockers would as well,
since I am guessing they look for the same stuff). I need to use the
window.open method because I need the new window to be resized and
repositioned immediately after it is created. Does anyone know of a simple
alternative or work-around I could use? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Why do you need another window ?
Why does this question have to be posted to "300+" groups ?

Uncalled? You called.

Make your popups alike.
If user want them, they call them.

If not, be amazed how real life will copy you as a popup artists.

You're right, you're not going to be able to use a pop-up. How about
a hidden DIV that your javascript makes visible when it's needed?

Windows XP Service Pack 2 blocks, by default most pop-ups. It does not block
<i>all</i> methods to open a popup. I believe it is window.createPopup()
that still works, but I could be mistaken. One of them is allowed, for sure.
Probably showModalDialog or something like that. Sorry, I can't remember.
Google it..
