QUERY on DHTML pop-ups in XP SP2

[Guest]

Hi all...

I've developed a replacement for FP's thumbnail feature, for better control
over presentation of images, and to make it a bit harder for users to download
copyrighted content.

You click on an image, and the IMGs mousedown or onclick event handler
creates a pop-up containing a larger version of the image. At that point
I also trap mousedown and oncontextmenu, so that you can't get to
the Save Image to Disk. Again, I know that this doesn't prevent getting
at the source file.

particularly the sections on pop-ups. What I'd like to check is the language
that pop-ups are allowed when the user clicks a link.

Does this mean that my event handler must be within an <a> element,
or will SP2 be smart enough to figure out that the user initiated the event
anyway?
called Block All Pop-Up Windows. It seems that this globally disables
popup, unless the user holds down the Ctrl key. This option defaults to
Off, right?

Thanks and regards,

The best option is to install SP2 and test how you are calling the window.

The way I have read this, is that all popup must be initiated by the user clicking on a link, so <a>
element would be required.
